I'd go 225/40-18 on 18x8. 245/35-18 is a bit too wide for 8", technically within the allowed width range tho...

Lowering only 0.5", you don't have to worry about stock suspension or drive/halfshafts. Or going to coilovers or struts/shocks. RS-R Down springs will lower you ~0.5". If you go lower than RCE Yellows (0.8"), IMO you'd wanna get Bilstein B6, or go coilovers due to stock struts having limited bump travel.
