Enkei Raijin's and rubbing

Hey guys. I'm new to all these tire/wheel measurements and I'm learning slowly what goes with what. When I go home this summer I plan on picking up either the Enkei Raijin's 18x9.5 or the RS05-RR Enkeis in 18x9.5.

I have a few questions.

What is the appropriate tire size for these wheels? I plan on wrapping these in Michelin Pilot A/S3's. I've read great things about that tire. This is strictly a fun daily driver as it is my only car. I don't have the money right now to autocross or track the car and I don't plan on doing any suspension work anytime soon. Ladyfriend already complains about getting out of the car

With stock suspension am I looking at getting any rubbing or similar issues going up to a 18x9.5? I'm really looking for a direct replacement, just a bit bigger and wider.

Also, what would I have to look into when it comes to swapping over the TPMS?

Thanks in advance for the help. I'm trying to research all this but the only computer I have access to is on a government network so it is very slow and EVERYTHING is blocked lol
