I ran 18's on my vert for about a year. I ran 18x8 front and rear with 225/40-18 on all four. It looked sweet as hell; but it deffinitely slowed the car down alot. The grip was nice and the turn in response but the overall handling was worse due to the extra weight. 225/40's will increase the diameter of your tires from stock so it will feel like you have taller gears. I would recommend 17's just due to the weight and tire choices that keep the stock diameter. The question you must ask yourself is "Do I want SHOW? or Do I want GO?" Either one is a good choice.

I just want the Panspeed spoiler ( I think it's panspeed ). So nice, sooooo nice. Anyone know where I can get it?

Also, you could run with 16's on the front, 17's on the rear. If the 17's had a low enough profile ( enough to match the stockers, as to keep the speedo accurate ) then the same profile on the front 16's... right? *RUN ON*

I know a guy with 18's on his t2 225/40 on front 255/35's on back. The front tires hit the top of wheel well and bent his fenders. Watch for bumps in the road!

I hate the lines it puts on the rear 1/4

That's probably because of either wrong offset, too much drop, and/or too low of spring rate/shock damping.

I have 18x8 225/40 with no problems and I'm dropped about 2".
