RE: what size tires would i need...?
I have 18x8.5" wheels on my car right now...
originally i had 235/40/18 tires, but wen I went with race springs (2 inch drop), I had a rubbing issue only when bottoming out(which was remedies by rolling my fenders)
but now I have 225/40/18, and rolled fenders and I don't have to worry about a thing with my 2" drop
these are my 235/40s...my 225's are stretched and not as tall

Agreed. I have 235-45-17 tires on my 17" wheels, and the rolling diameter is very close to that of the OEM 16" wheels, which is good for maintaining calibration of the speedometer and odometer. If you want to play around with tire sizing to find the closest match to your car's OEM size (to maintain the accuracy of speedo etc) go here and play with different tire sizes:
