Your rolling diameter increases 5mm overall, seeing as though you're going 2" bigger, your also decreasing your tyre wall, here have a look at the difference between a stock SP20 rim (with 195/50 tyre, as per factory) compared to a 18" Mazda rim with 215/35 tyre:

thats why im looking for new ones and also hoping to raise the guard a little higher becasue the new wheels will be a little closer to it.
honestly, putting the 18's on mine actually raised the car 5mm, and but I would roll the guards if need be
