technically yes... but i'd get stock size if I were you, for obvious reasons of fitting on the windshield and not being too small to be effective.

If you can't get stock size, I wouldn't recommend going more than 1" out of specs.

P.S. i'm not sure if you are aware or not, but ' means feet, not inches. " means inches.

I wouldn't want to go less than 20" on the driver's side, seems to matter more on my Civic than it has on other vehicles. I think you'd end up with a pretty annoying sweep with the 18" on that side.
