Low profile tires for 18"x 8 +35

I'm thinking about getting the TSW Nurburgring 18". What are some good low profile tires?

Why do you want a "low profile tire"?

For that wheel you will want 235/40 not really low profile...

Summer tire?

yes summer tires. I had 18" rims on my gti, and I like the look of less tire wall.

So he can bend them when he hits a pot-hole.

235/40 is the correct size for 8" wheels, as this poster said. Are you looking for 25 or 30 series sidewalls? Ride quality is going to suffer, but hey it's your car.
