Wheel Opinion Size?

Hi!
Let's cut to the point:
What tire size do you recommend for 18x8.5 with +25 Offset? Nice, Clean, Tuck . Low profile tires would be nice

Let's hear the full story:
So i'm getting a K-Sport coil-over kit for my car to slam it , But i also wanted new rims. I found the rims that i wanted and I don't really want to go through the trouble of rolling the fenders. The Rims are 18 inch, i wanted to do them in 19's, but i figured i would have a lot of tire rubbing.

A Picture of the rims will be the attachment

Thanks!

245 40 here, same size, Progress Springs though, get some rub over large bumps with passengers.


245 45 are nearly an in ch taller, so you will need to modify your fenders if even you want to go any lower than stock.

"slamming" a car and not wanting to roll the fenders is a contradiction

now "lowering" a car and not wanting to roll the fenders is doable

i have no rolled fenders, and just shaved my quarter panel tabs and lowered 1.7"
235/45/18 18x7.5 35 offset and it is ok. but with a 5mm spacer (30 offset) on passenger side and its extremely close and rubs the fender every so slightly with weight/passengers (barely safe)

so with a 25 offset 18" wheel plain and simple you will need to roll your fenders if you will lower it at all, or change wheels/tires sizes

Is there anything negative about rolling the fenders? How is the paint does it crack?

What tire size would give me a nice stretched look, not too much though. I want a little bit of camber, not alot, but some. Like a nice Stanced look.
