Well you will have to remove the cover on your wheelwell and adjust the coilovers all the way up . If you wanna do that yeah you can get them . Ohh yeah and ummm They will still rub if you hit a big pot hot or you driving fast and hit a sight ramp bump

You dont want 18's kid, and just about everyone here will tell you that. 17's should be the absolute max you put on your car with 205/40 series tires. even with 17s lowered 1.5-2inches you'll have some rubbing problems. Also the wieght issue of the 18s will slow you down cause its tough for 127hp to turn those massive things.

Where you located at in MA? You really don't want 18's even though you have adjustables, your higher setting will probably still rub at some points. If you want 17's, I have a set with tires, 95% tread left on tires too, just pm me. If you live close enough to me I can sell them to you locally.
