18s are big, if you dont want to tuck i say drop it with a prokit ~1.5" at most, that should leave no gap with the right size tire, as for tire size, no clue, im bad with that, but i think its something like 215/35/18 or something along those lines.

Choose from 215/40/18 or 225/40/18 you'll be fine. Don't settle on 35 series its too thin...you need some meat to protect your investment rims.
