On 8.5" wide and those insufficient offsets, I'd stay with the 245's to reduce the chance of rubbing. With 18's, you'll want to lower the car.

I have heard a lot of good things about the Goodyear F1s.

I enjoyed having Nitto Neo Gens on two different FWD cars, but on this RWD roadster I would spend a little more cash for more bang.
