I'd try 215/40-18 front, 255/35-18 rear.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's a great selection in those sizes.

FROM THE STICKIE ABOVE^^^
For the front:
6.5

Looks like you can get great tires in 225/40-18 front, 255/35-18 rear. You will likely have to run max negative camber and possibly roll the front fenders as well.

Important question:
What will be your USAGE, and what are your wants/needs?
Snow usage even a possibility?
Wet-weather?
You want longer life or greater grip?

There are some great tires available for you. Bridgestone RE01R's if you've got the $$$, or Sumitomo HTR Z III if you don't.
