Default Tire size on 18x9 Bullits

Hey,I had 2000 Cobra R`s (18x9) and the tires on them were 245/40-R18s..The rims stuck out, and looked wierd...not to mention when i hardlyhit a curb, they got destroyed. Im now getting 18x9 Black Bullitts, and was wondering what tire size should go on perfect without them stickingout at all, and so it fits..Also if anyone has pics. Thanks alot.

r u talking about the rear rims or all of them, the 18x9 barly even stick out IMO but thats my O. if u got 18x10 DD for the rear, they will stick out a farily decent amount, im sure alot of drivers can tell u when u put new rims on ur car u watch for those curbs, cause they aint cheap, as im sure ur aware of.
