225/35 for the front
and 235/35 in rear?

Just a guesstimation, really.

Why so big a spacer?

I second the above tires size. You may want to check the stickied tire and wheel section on here also. To look at some pictures also.

You guys do realize he's running 18" rims? Overall stock tire diameter is 25.74" (on 225/55/16"). Dropping the section height to just 35% would reduce the overall diameter by well over an inch. Even running 225/40/18 would drop the diameter to 25.09".

That would really mess up the car's speedometer and would probably hurt your MPG since the tire's rotation wont cover as much distance. It'll also look kinda weird having such small tires on such a large car IMO.

If you want to stay with the stock width, then you should run 225/45/18. I wouldn't drop the section height below 45% unless you go wider than 225mm.

get the tire sizes you want first and then measure the distance between the rim and fender to get the exact size spacer you need
