talk to manny (sleepR1)
a 17" wheel is a much better compromise than an 18"
go with 17x9 and run 255/40 or 245/40
if you must go 18, you will have to run 245/35 or 255/35 on 18x9 wheels or 285/30 (18x10 wheels)
These sizes will keep you at the stock wheel+tire diameter.

i'm no expert but in general i've heard 17 is ideal balance. 18s are more expensive to start off and to maintain. 18s will probably give you a harsher ride also. and i think the inertia of the larger wheels hurt performance to a degree.

If you want some 18's I'd look into the Road conditions in Jersey and determine how often you want to drive the car. If it's a daily driver I'd go 17's definitely. 18's do look beautiful though.
Tell us your budget and we can properly place you into a good wheel line. Can show you what you get for that much in a 17 and that much in an 18. Wheels only please? Tires are a pretty constant variable once you know what brand you want.

The one that i should you. Im pretty sure it wont rub. I have some ground controls w/ Koni's. And i pretty much slammed it as low as it could allow me without rubbing. So you should be ok with 1-1/4 drop.
