Yes it will fit but since it's not the same width as a rear rim, the tires will look different.

Cleaned up thread.. Geez guys - simple answer would have worked.

OP IIRC - the 06 have 18x8.5 rears and 8.0 fronts. you CAN put the front on the rear but I hope its just temporary and not permanent cause it WONT look right.. Tire size depends as well..I think you can go 235 or more on a 8 inch rim

You can make it "look" right with a spacer. The rears are 18x8.5 +33 and the fronts are 18x8 +30 (or maybe I have the offsets reversed - look on the back of the wheel). If I'm right on the offsets, putting the front 18x8 on the back would require a 3mm shim spacer to have the face of the wheel sit at the same spot as the 18x8.5. It's not ideal, but I bet no one would notice.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
