A properly sized replacement wheel and tire will have the same rolling diameter as stock. It is the tire that will rub, typically not the wheel. So one also has to keep the tread width in mind. So no reason why you can't do this. But the ride may be a bit more than you were asking for. The selection of tires in this size is limited and they are more expensive as well. The 18" rim will be way more subject to getting bent, and that is an expensive wheel to replace. If you drive and roads that are in bad shape, not a good idea. Large wheels can make some standard brake gear look weany in that big open space.
