Here are pictures of my set-up I got from tire rack. Currently stock minus the wheels and tires.

looks nice, also good to see your front bumper is slightly different colour than the car, mine is too, most noticeable at dusk.

That’s the same wheel size I’m gonna go with, please can you confirm there is no rubbing with stock suspension, also do you think 245’s front and back would fit with stock set up (no drop for me due to crappy southern roads).

Congrats buddy, looks good.
 
I would like to check your wheel setup in person some time. I plan on getting new wheels soon so I can get the 235/40-18's. How do the all season tires handle?

I have only had them for a day now, but the wet traction with these tires is worse then stock, but dry seems to be able the same as the stock tires. I would have like to keep the summer tires and get winter tires but I am just too lazy to keep switching them out. I was also looking for tire that had better wear then stock because I drive 100 miles a day. PM me for my address if you want to see the wheels in person
 
Just to give an update they rub in the rear, I was going in a corner fast and hit a bump and the fender took a chunk out of the tire. Time to roll the rear fenders
