18x9 and like a 245/40 or 245/35 or 235/40 or 235/35. the tires will depend on how low you want it to be dropped and the offset of the wheels will play a big roll. Something clean and flush I would say is a +35 or so offset. As for how low you wanna be that involves you putting on the coilovers and playing around with the settings to see what you are ok with on a daily basis. my car is at the point that if there is any elevation change in the road I have to come to almost a complete stop and use an angle to make it
