semi slicks will sit wider than standard

offset is what matters, so unless u know what, we cant tell

that tyre size will fit as I run 235x45 on 17x8s

i run 235/40 but not semi slicks. the semi's might have a bit more tyre sidewall roll and rub when you corner if u fit them that wide.

Tbh I don't know if you want semi slicks for everyday driving.

If you're going for fatter tyres go 17" not 18s.

I seem to recall Aza squeezing in a 245 on a 17 inch rim...

But as KJ mentioned, unless you can tell us the offset of the rim, we cant tell you much.
