Stock size, 215/45R17. 91W.

I'm happy so far. Don't have many miles yet. I've started the thread linked below and will be updating with impressions as I drive the car more.

I'm going with 245/35R18. Hopefully pics tomorrow.
Unfortunately I won't get a chance to really drive it for a couple of weeks.

Hood spacers.... There's a hook built in to the hinge of the hood. In a front end accident when the hood is shoved back toward the occupants, this hook catches a special piece of the unibody that keeps the hood from goiong through the windshield nd decapitating the occupants. Hood spacers move that hook so it can't catch anymore. The hood is designed to buckle in two and that hook and latch system is the key to YOU not losing your head.

It used to happen in older cars. Now it is very rare. Unless you use hood spacers to lower your underhood temps by 5 degrees.
