Also, your tire choices will be less. 17s have more choices. Since I know you're not planning to drop the car too low, you'd probably want a tire that looks a bit beefier. A 18x8 will hold a 245 just fine and look a bit more squared off where the sidewall meets the tread.
So what tire do you recommend (wheels will be 18X9), and want to keep OEM diameter as close as possible?

Lowering will be between 1-1.5" (Tire Brand recommendation more than welcomed). You know I HATE the stretched tire look.
