You didn't post the most important info. Backspacing. But with the right tiresize and backspacing you can shove 22's under one if you don't get ridiculous on the drop.

If they are 18's they should fit. I haven't ever heard of dust cover issues. I am running 17's with 5.25 BS and mine don't hit anything. Coils aren't going effect the drop like spindles will.
