I ordered new wheels:
Ultralite Nurburgring 18x8.5" ET30 and 18x9.5" ET10. Color Gold.
Car will sit on a quite low stance that rear wheels won't poke too much.
Front tires will be Nankang NS-2 225/40R18. I will add a 20mm spacer to front.
Question is: What size rear tires? I think 235/40R18. But is 245/40 enough? I want minimal stretch and I wouldn't like to add camber. Fenders are already rolled, but not flat though. I have a new paint so i wont pull the fenders.

New wheels
Thanks again CL members for all of your help! 20x8.5 and 20x9.5 with 245/35 and 275/30/20. Minimal rub in the rear and no rub up front. Will probably roll the quarters to elimate the rub. Next up.....1" drop!

MB Battles...Trying to get an idea on size right now. I'm going to roll the rear fenders but I don't want too much of a hassle with the fronts. If I lower it I would roll the fronts but I don't want them to rub right now at stock height which size should I go with.
I'm going 18x9.5 +15 in the rear
Fronts I can go 18x8.5 +30 (Leaning towards this)
or
18x9.5 +23
18x9.5 +15
Thinking of running 245/40 in the rear and 235/45 in the front? something like that?
