P225/45-R18 is perfect, diameter is 25.9in. the same as stock. Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position come in this size and the 7.5 rim is the recomended width for this tire.

dont get 18 x 7.5's 7.5 is an OK width for 17" inch rims but not for 18's. I have 18 x 7.5's...no problem with drivability but youd want more rubber if you live in or around NYC. next time around im goin 18 x 8's or 18 x 8.5's even. yeah probably the hp evo's too.lol
everyones loving that rim

DON'T DO IT! Those skinny sizes are for Hondas. I'd go with at least an 8" width on a rim...

i'm running 235/40/17s. 225/40/18s work too, but i like having just a tad bit more sidewall.

I'm running 18 x 7.5 Fittipaldi's with 245/40/18 Sumitomo's. I love them, they have enough sidewall and still look aggressive. The tire sticks out from the fender a smidge, but nothing too noticeable. Also there's a little bit of tire to keep your rims from getting curb rash.
