The difference between the two sizes would be the height.
45 & 50 is actually the percentage of the tyre width.
It will make your car slightly higher and gives you an inaccurate speedo reading...I don't think it will touch the absorber.

Why the change??

It's the risk you have to take when you go for 18" rims and thin tyres.
The only advice I can give,and the same thing I am doing to protect my rims is to go slow when you see pot holes around.

Good Luck!!

xtec, u can go ahead with the 225/50R18 tires but make sure u have the rims offset right n do not lowered ur ride....anything between 18"x8JJ +42 to +45, then ur tires will not hit anything...

but FYI, ur odometer will not be accurate...if u r running 100km/h, u r actually running 104 to 105km/h
