Default 18" wheel setup for gs

Hey guys,
Basically I've been struggling to find a good tire and wheel setup for myself. I previously had 19x8.5/9.5 running 235/35 and 265/30. That setup looked great on my car but the ride quality was pretty rough. I just recently put my wheels back to stock for the winter but want to purchase a 18" wheel setup for the summer.
I've seen a maroon colored gs parked and driving around the Pinole, ca area and have seen it with the 18" staggered setup. Can anyone help me find a setup good for a 18". HRE type wheel is what I'm Looking for. LIP is important to me so an appropriate setup is needed. The fatter and wider the tire is better for me. Ride quality is important so 19" to 18" is necessary.
Help me out guys. Thanks

what's a HRE type wheel? Do you mean forged?
