Okay got my SPC camber kits on and about to get tires and need help!!

I was going to get 215/40/18- 18x8.5 +20, and 225/35/18- 18x10 +20 but I saw my homie's S13 STRETCH 225/35/18 on 10" rims and it looks like i am pushing it?? Anyways do you think is safe? I am getting tires this week and need to make a decision FAST so should I go 225/40/18, 235/40/18 or 225/35/18 I did not mention 235/35/18 cuz is really hard to find tires that size that I can flip for camber!!

Btw my homie said you are going to eff up your lip with 225-35-18 so it really got me thinking what sizes I should go with!!!

Here are some pics of SPC
Before:

Front:

had to cut the lower control arm...

different brands of tires stretch differently so keep that in mind, check it out:

Yes I know that is why I am going yes with either Nakang or Nexen since they have the best stretch! and going to visit my friendly neighborhood fender roller to pull more of my fenders after I get tires!!

Geez, this step lips changes the VS-XX a lot, can't wait to see the end result. Falken 512 225/40/18 would be my suggestion for the rear for the front do a 215/35/18.
