I'd imagine the ride would be so harsh it wouldn't be worth it. That's 3 inch over the biggest normal size alloys, 4 inch if it was originally on 14s. If you keep the overall size the same then you will have very very low profile tyres. If you change the overall radius then you're going to accelerate slower and more seriously decelerate slower.

theres a guy on here with 19's fitted, the popular choice is 17", for 18's (assuming its the same as the marea) you will be needing 205/35/18 tyres

Be a harsh ride on 18's, not only that they'll cost a bomb, with such little rubber to absorb impact they'll get buggered easily too.
