Tough to fit an 18 x 10 in the back. Tire selection and backspacing become very important and you will need a stock ride height and rolled fenders, maybe a little inner fender well work with a BFH.

so it would be easier if i just went with the 18x 9 for the rear
would i have to remove the quad shock with 18x9?

I dont think you would. i have 17x9 in the back with 275/40's amd they are 10inch's wide, so they look good and i can get traction. And i still have my quad shock.
But i dunno about 18's if it would be any different. But probably not, you dont have lowering springs do you? not sure if that would come into play.
Jw what rims are you lookin at getting in 18's?
