lowered on H&R springs, main reason was so i can use same tires (tryna save as much being a broke uni student), but now looking at it i think 18" or 19" will make it look like less wheel gap right?

tyre sizes really help when trying to fill the wheel gap
but yeah 18's or 19s , 17s look way too small ..

you can also look at this thread if you haven't to get an idea of what your car would look like

I would just keep the car stock until you can afford a set up you actually like rather than compromising because you want to reuse oe tires.
But to address your question, the tires should fit.
