245/45-18 tires will fit on wheels 7.5-9" wide. The old 255/35-18s fit on wheels 8.5-10" wide. Some don't like the look of a 245 on a 9' wheel but they should be safe. It is going to be a taller tire than you currently have on there and you will definitely need to match both sides.

Yeah that 245/45/18 is going to be over an inch and a half taller than the tire you have now, so you'll have to match. If I were you I'd buy the cheapest 18" tires I could find (new or used) to get you home, and then do some actual tire shopping when you have more time.
