Question What size tires?

Just picked up some motegi 18x7.5 wheels for my 05 xrs. It is currently dropped about 2" on h&r racing springs. What size tire would you recommend? I was thinking 215/40/r18.

Here is a tire calculator you can use. You can compare it with the stock size to see what works best:

I generally don't recommend going with very big and heavy wheels. They drastically make the car sluggish due to increased rotational mass and also decrease fuel economy. Just thought I should mention.
