225/40/18 front and 245/35/18 rear. You may want to think about rolling you fenders or you will rub when cornering hard with a S-tech drop.

It will work but I would go with 215/40R18 and 245/35R18 for the tires. You still might have to run more negative camber on the rear.
If I can help with the tiers let me know.

What does that mean I know it might be a dumb question but what is rolling fenders?

your fenders have a little lip on the inside of the wheel well. rolling your fender gets rid of that lip and gives a couple more millimeters to play with with tire size and offset. you can go with a mild roll which will bend the lip back a little bit, or an aggressive roll and get the lip flush with the inside wall of the fender. be careful when you do an aggressive roll, because if its not done right, the paint can crack.
