Rim diameter means nothing for installation problems. If you get the wrong backspacing or a tire which is too tall or wide you will have problems.

There are tons of online tire size calculators to help you find the right tire for your rim.

No rubbing 18x7.5 in front 18x8 in the back. No loss in hp. I have over 500wrhp. I take it to the track and push it pretty hard in the corners. I am going down to 17's beacuse I want to go 17x9 in the back. Nothing wrong with using 18's.
