It all depends on your preference... If you want to be flush or how much poke you want..

I would get 20 or 25mm spacers and stretch the tires. 215/40 and 225/40

Wow! such a vague question. I don't even know what to say. Personally I like the way it sits as is. If you want to flush it out more I recommend using a 15mm spacer all the way around and 215/45R18 front and 235/40R18 or 225/45R18 Rear and dial in camber appropriately. It wont stretch that much but thats jsut about as narrow as it gets in 18"
