18x8?
that's a Honda size? 
Anyhow if you go by Toyo or Yokohama's chart it would be 235's. Stock FD rims are 8", don't know what the FC's are. You can put 235/45-16 on stock rims.
If you want them just for show, you can buy my chrome Utlra's 17x7.5 and run 225/40-17's but you are better off with 17x8.5's. Tire selection and price on 18's suck.

That's actually not true when it comes to lower than a 45 series tire. As the profile goes lower a wider wheel is required. Reccommended is 235 on the 8" width.
In order to accurately consult you I'd need to know the offset of the wheels you are getting to ensure that they won't rub. This is the most important actually.

A 245/40 would be too tall as well. You'd need a 35 series and that would require an 8.5" width. Hope this helps some. Get back to me or SleepR1.
