Default checking before buy

hey guys,, just wanted to check tire sizing before I buy. Have a set of 18" rims which need tires and was interested in some of your opinions. Really not interested in having a rub issue and need to have some tire under my rim. First I'll give the facts:

car --92 LS 400
H&R Lowering Springs (1" drop F&R)
Tokico HP blue shocks
rim-- 5 x 114.3
18 X 7.5
40 mm positive offset

Looking for right tire that will fit my rim with drop and no rub. Was looking at the Kumho Ecsta in 235/40/18 in which size was recommended by several different sources, but am open to suggestion on tire brands. Let me know what you all think.
