Default Opinion on these tires

I don't know much about tires.. but Currently I have the Volk Te-37's in 18's. My tires are almost out and was wondering if I should stick with the 225/40/18 front and 245/40/18 rears?

I found a guy told me 225/40/18 front and 235/40/18 rear would be better for our cars b/c or less rubbing etc. What do you guys think? should I stay with my current settings or change the rears to 235? I plan on lowering my car with espelir springs soon and rolling the fenders. Btw Im getting the Toyo T1s's and hes charging me 700 for all 4 tires with mounting and balancing, good deal or not?

Thanks

stay with your current tire size. the wider in the rear the better since you are going to roll your fenders why not go wider in the rear??

for 18's you should run
225-40-18 Fr
255-35-18 Rr

This will maintain the correct front/rear tire stagger. Narrower rear tire than 255's on 18's might give you unwanted oversteer.
If you are not lowered you will have no problems without fender rolling

The 245/40R18 is the wrong size to go on the rear. You really should be in either 245/35R18 or 255/35R18 rear to keep the correct diameter.
If I can help let me know.
