Go with a 245/35/18 if you think a 255/35/18 looks to "thick". It is the closest to stock diameter and will give a slight stretch.

I forgot to mention this is going onto a 2004 NSX! :)

So stock setup:

17x9, +56 offset on a 255/40/17 tire

By upgrading to 18, I'm doing a 255/35/18 which is correct, size wise but visually looks a bit thick. It's hard to find a 245/35/18 tire!

I'm running the 255-35x18 on 9" wheels, the sidewall is approx. 2" at most at 32psi.
