18's with a drop

If I got 18s on my 98 se, what kind of drop would I need to have a decent, even looking gap all the way around. That includes tires that aren't as thin as paper.

I'm also looking to keep a good ride as well. I remember someone posting something about a BMW-like ride.

Thanks all.

Judge for yourself

Here's a pic of my car on 18's with a 1.6" drop front & rear.
I'm running B&G Springs

KEEP IN MIND!

will you have a body kit? fiber glass or polyurathane? what type of obsticals do you incounter on a daily basis?>drive way, speed bumps, the drive way att work,the road on your daily grind. SPRINTMAX has sprints wich are verry nice and give you an agressive drop,BUT notice he dosent have the body kit to worry about, so he is perfect w/ that type of drop,the other maxima above that has a 1.6,sorta like what i have,i am running the EIBACH pro kit.you can see the way my car sits just right w/ the stillen lower lip.(i plan on going lower,however i will have to take my time going up drive ways and going over speed bumps.)dont go beyond 2 inches! that would just be to low.>>>>dont forget the camber kit or the camber bolts,you want this when you drop your car to prolong tire life. ps.remember springs go down just a little bit more w/ time,and yes those are 18'z on my ride.
