If Im not mistaken Novels tire specs were based on wider wheels with fender modification...so not much help. The standard upsize to 245/275 size should work...

Id do a PSS tire all the way around for all round performance. Nothing can touch those tires as a complete all around summer tire. Darbs is right about the R888 for ultimate grip. Havent tried them but they are the tires that usually go on 2000 HP Gallardos

You want the beefy and comfortable tires due to the road condition where you living ? Looks like you living some where in Asia like Vietnam or Thailand. I like the Porsche and Land Rover behind your F man !
Back to the topic, 235/45r18 for front, 265/40r18 rear . This specs is very close to the stock tire specs just about 6mm -8mm higher in diameter. Voted for Michelin PSS tires.
