I wouldn't use a bolt pattern that wasn't 5x115
Also that tire size is 3% smaller than factory and I wouldn't use that either.

doesnt the tire have to be smaller since the rim size is increasing, the tire has to be more "low profile"

I don't think you understand proper tire sizing.
But 245/45/18 is the correct size for an 18" rim on these cars. Trust me. I use it.
If you use an improperly sized tire, your speedo and odometer will be off.

I don't recommend, you can do what you want with bolt pattern.
A lot of people run 5x114.3. I just personally never would.
