Personally I would go with 18x9's for the front and 18x10's for the rear.The tires depend on how much you want too spend on mine I have 265/35/18's on the front and 285/35/18's on the rear.Mine is lowered too and have no problems.Another good size would be 275/40/18's on the front and 295/35/18's on the rear.

Also if you went with 18x9 all the way around you would be able to rotate your tires and get more life out of them.
