Re: Max 18 inch Tire.
To put wheels specd for a 4th gen, on a 3rd gen, Skulte 2" ones-link are the most common choice.
Personally, I'd suggest buying wheels that FIT & do not require adapter spacers to make them fit.
Combine the price of the wheels and the price of the adapters & see if you can find direct fit wheels for about the same price, that you like.

245/40/18 is about as wide as you will want to go on the front.
Is the car lowered any?

Re: Max 18 inch Tire.
i would stay between 255-275/ 40 any less sidewall and the car will skid accross road imperfections. you could also run a 35 series tire but it would ride horrible and look out of place
i currently have 18 X 9.5" wheels, 265 40 18 on the front and 275 40 18 on the rear, the car sits at about 26- 26.25" all the way around no rubbing, no wheel well gap

Re: Max 18 inch Tire.
I had 295/35/18 on all 4 corners with 18x10.5 tt2 rims on my stock 89 Camaro vert. Only had a slight rub when I turned the front wheel all the way to lock. Adam :-)
