if you go to tirerack.com, you can shop for tires... and there's a list of tires and their recommended rim widths. just make sure the tire you want will fit on your rim width. other than that, it seems the majority of people with widths in that range go for a 255 in the rear. you might be able to fit a 255 in the front, but i'd check on that. seems for best track performance people shoot for 255 all around and dial out oversteer using suspension techniques.

With the body kit you can run 245/35R18 front and like a 285/30R18 rear depending on the offset of the wheels.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

btw leo, i tried to imply that there is more to consider than just what fits. you should check out other threads for advice on matching rear and front sizes for the type of performance driving you want.
