I have 18x7" Enkei's with 225/40/18 Parada spec 2's. With the 7.5" wide wheel you'll probably want something like 245 or 255 and either 35 or 40. Call discount tire... that's what I did, and they have good prices on tires.

Here's 5ZIGEN Inperio S-O8 18"x7.5 with 43 Offset and 225/40/18 PARADA TIRES. All fit perfectly. I'm not sure about the correct size........

I've checked at http://www.tirerack.com and it shows, if you have original 205/55/16, the correct size for 18" and 225 will be 40 (225/40/18).
Correct me if I'm wrong. :)

That is the correct size. 30 or 35 series tires are a little too thin for daily driving! More then likely will dent one of your rims with those! I have 225/40/18. Good luck!

225/40-18 is proper. 30 series would be 205/30 that's a rediculous size and would definetly dent a rim. 225 40 is fine.
