link isn't working....
it isn't the 18" wheel that makes the difference it's the width and the tire size.
you could probably work a 9" without real modifications if you used the stock tire height and definately if you went smaller.
9.5's on the other hand won't work with a real low car unless you do some work. (this is 2" or lower suggestions) a pro-kit really isn't lowering the car so you would be fine.
good luck.

it doesn't list a specific offset or backspacing for that rim, only that it's positive offset, which won't fit on a thirdgen without a spacer (the expensive variety)
about as far as you can go on a 9" wide rim is 0 offset, and even that you might need a slip fit spacer to get an extra tenth of an inch or two clearance.
