Here is one kid with 18 inch wheels...
made some adjustments on the slide doors to fit them

more often you see 17 inch wheels as in this thread

do you want to keep the standard wheels?
If you do, you could go up a size in width and profile.
For example, if you've got the 185/65/15 tyres you could go to a 195/65/15 which would make the tyre slightly wider and taller.
Not too sure about this though so it's best to ask your tyre fitter.
Some Doblos have 14 inch steel wheels, some have 15" alloys and some have 15" steels depending on which model you have.
The whole car is setup to run on 15s so increasing the diameter might throw up a few unexpected problems. (your speedo calibration would be out as an 18" diameter would cover more ground per turn than a 15).
There are quite a few threads on this subject but I've not seen anyone mention problems with insurance - maybe their insurance doesn't know? If you had an accident and the insurance noted you'd changed wheel sizes without telling them it'd be just the excuse they need to opt out of paying.

Fiat seem to recommend a 175/75 R 14 and the 175/70 R 14 as an alternative.
i have 205/55/15's on my 05 doblo fit perfectly
