if u wanna go for 18's ud have to get like 185/15/18, thats like probably the best specs you could get if u actualy wanted to drive normaly, maybe go for 175/10/18 for even better, lol, i actualy wanna get realy realy low profile tires, like 205/15/15 or 205/10/16

What? whats wrong with it? 185 width, 15 profile, 18 rims? and the 2nd is less wider, and lower profile? whats wrong with it

actually I think I tire with that short of a sidewall looks like ass. You gotta have some meat on the rims, enough to make a smooth ride and look substansial. I personally wouldnt go with anything lower than 40.
18s on a tib = ghey unless its strictly show.

I just want to let you know that I was dead set on getting some 18's on my tib because I love the way that they look on my friends cars.
Well after DRIVING a couple of my friends cars and a number of conversations on this site, I decided to go with 17's. They will be in this week, so I will know more then, but I came to the conclusion that 18's on a daily driver would be a BIG PITA.
On the other hand, I would like to have a set of 19's to put on AT the shows and use strictly for show wheels, but nothing over 17's on a daily driver.
