I'd try either 205/40-18 or (maybe) 215/40-18 fronts, and 225/35-18 or 225/40-18 or 235/35-18 or (maybe) 245/35-18 rears.

Best of luck!

Oh yeah, and negative camber as Washabi says above. You can run a LOT of negative camber and not have a huge issue with tire wear. I've been running -2.3* at the rear and -1.5* at the front for over a year now.

Once you drop it some more the negitive camber will come. I know you seen my car a few times, I am at -2.25 front and -3.25 in the rear.

Tire choice will depend on your wants/needs/usage.

Dry traction only?
Wet and dry traction?
Any possibility of snow?
Price a factor?
Longevity a factor?

Pick the best tire for your needs first. Hopefully it's available in the sizes you want, but if not consider the alternative sizes.
