Can you help please?

I have an 05 wagon that i plan to lower on 18's. Can someone suggest what tire size and sprins I could use to ride on a flush look? I want to eliminate any gaps...

225/40R18s on 18x7.5s, with around a +45 offset. For springs, you want something like Eibachs, Prodrives, Espelirs, Whiteline, etc.

Thanks! What is teh drop? Will this eliminate any gaps? If it has minor rubbing I don't mind. I will be doing some modifications all around on the car that will give me some more room. Thats by next year though.. lol So 215/35 would be to thin of a tire??

215/35 would be too short. You want close to stock diameter or your fender gap increases. You don't want to go taller or you'll get a lot more rubbing. Those springs drop you about an inch to 1.25" or so. Wheel offset is also very important. You don't want to go below 40, but keeping it close to 44 or 45 will help you get the flush look.
