What do you mean my "thicker"?
Wide, taller or both? |

I have 205/60-15 in the rear. You can fit a 215/65-15. Both need 5.5 wide rims, the stock are 4.5.
The front is a bit smaller, you can put 195/65-15 on 5.5 wheels

Cons for 18” with wider fenders ? |

Bumpy ride, thin sidewall, you'll need custom drums or adapters.
Will look like a VW Donk.
