I'm not gonna lie, I think those look terrible. They don't go with the lines of the car at all.

I am torn. I love the rims. But they look like they should be on a BMW type car not ours. But to each their own. I live by dare to be different

You can try this site http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?action=submit or similar ones to figure out what tire sizes are suitable for accurate speed reading.
From trying a few sizes, the best would be 245/40/18  =  0.28% diameter difference, where 3% is considered significant and risk of brake failure! :o
