Default Putting 18 inch wheels on my '99 CR-V

Hello, this is my first time here due to me buying a 1999 CR-V with 250k miles on it and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with fitting larger wheels onto it. I was looking into customizing Honda CR-Vs and what caught my eye were the ones that were lowered for a more flush look to eliminate the visual gap between the wheel well and the tire, and it had me thinking if this could be done on a budget as well. I have a set of Kia's OEM "Flower" wheels from my Kia Forte5 SX and was wondering if I could simply slap them on my CR-V and not even have to bother lowering it to get the flushed look so I searched around and couldn't find anyone putting wheels of this size into an old CR-V so I decided to just ask myself if there's anyone who has done something similar or if there's anyone who's an expert in the subject of what can and cannot fit onto a CR-V's wheel. Also, if doable, any particular tire recommendations too (Sizes, types, and brands?) P.S. I would've liked to upload the pictures of both wheel specs here but for some reason, it won't let me do that (Maybe I'm too new of a user?) so I have both wheels linked instead:

welcome to the forum. need to get the spec's from the flower rim bolt holes center line to center line and see if they match the honda rim holes center line to center line. or easier way is to jack up the honda and try the flower rim on for size.

Welcome in,the CRV bolt pattern is 5 on 4 1/2 KIA has 3 different lug patterns for 5 lug.18” might be a little to large ,generally one size up works well. Good luck.
