i'm assuming you are talking about the prokit springs ?
there should be no issue, because although you go to 18", if tires chosen properly, such as a 275/35-18, it will have the exact same size as the stock 275/40-17... only difference being you have 1" more of wheel and 1" less of sidewall... but in the end... it's exact same size.
btw, you recall the offset on those wheels ?Eugenio_SS

that means you'll need ~ 1/4" spacer.

40mm sidewall to 35 mm sidewall equals a 5 mm difference, and a 5 mm does not equal 1 inch, and neither does 17" wheels to 18". The circumference is one inch different or greater, but not necessarily the height of the wheel. A 17” wheel is not 1” lower than an 18” wheel.
