I have 18's and I have the Zefiro kit for my 2k tib, and my car is lowered about 2inches I have no problem with rubbing, just so that you know I also have a camber kit, so that also helps.

from what i understand 205/35/18 will keep your wheel diameter the same as stock, and you won't alter your speedometer/odometer... though your ride is going to be rougher than 16's and 17's.

you're gonna have something like 1 to 1.5 inches between your wheel and the road... just be careful not to hit too many large pebbles on the street along your sidewall that could damage the lip. and if you can get tires with a lip-protection-ridge i'd do it. my Falkens have that and it's great.
