To 18" SE-R users : What size tires ?

What size tires would be the best fit for a 5.5 gen w/ 18" SE-R wheels from the Altima.

Stock I believe on SE-R is 225/45/18. They Are 18x8 I believe w/ +42 offset.
Our Stock size is 225/55/17.

It seems like 245/45/18 would be the best compatibility on the tire calculator.

Side Note: I plan on dropping the car about 2 inches w/ coilovers.

Any input on members that are running these wheels w/ coilovers ?

Thanks

Go with 245/40/18's or 225/45/18 the 245/45/18's will have too fat of a sidewall.

245/40/18 are the best size for 18" rims on this car.....no spacers are needed IMO it's nearly perfect

I've done 10 & 15mm spacers with both +45/8" & 7" wide, as well +33 8.5" wide.

The A33 chassis sits so that the rear tires appear somewhat tucked, and in order to get a flush F&Rm without going staggered, you will need a spacer in the rear.
