Default Tire size for 18" BR5

I recently just purchased some 18x8.5 Lowenhart BR5 and was wondering about what size tires would be ideal. I have a 93 sc300 with tokico blue's and 1" drop from Eibach springs. I believe the offset of the wheels is +40.

Thanks in advance everyone.

Thanks GS4Will, I was thinking 225/40/18 in the front and 245/40/18 in the back... can I fit a 235 in the front without rubbing?

Ok, apparently the wheels are 18x9.5 all the way around. Will I have any trouble fitting these on an sc300 with eibach/tokico blue setup??

Also what tire size would work if these were to fit... If not anyone want to buy some lowenharts?

sorry to say 9.5s will not work in the front. no matter your car is dropped

ideally, 8.5+9.5 (245/275); or 8+9 (235/265)
