Need some tire size help

Ok guys

Here is my dilemma!

I really want to get 18s on my car. I have the eibach sportline lowering springs installed so i have about a 1.75 inch drop on the car. I want to be able to daily drive the car. My good freind (whom some of you might know...Madwheel) has just put 18s on his Tc and has a slight rubbing problem if he is getting on the car around a sharp corner and hits a dip or something. i dont want to have this problem. The rims that i think that i want to go with are the konig reasons. Just want to know if you guys think that i would be good with these 18s and to see what you guys recommend for a tire size as well.

Thanks alot in advance for everyone who posts up!

I had a friend w/ an 6th gen civic w/ 18s and a 2in. drop and that thing rubbed like crazy on turns (especailly U-turn). Bumps also. I'm not sure about our cars but I think you might have a problem w/ rubbing depending on whether your running stock shocks or not. But w/ that aside 18in. Reasons will look tight on your car.
