1. Unless you got your wheels from a yard sale or a really to-good-to-pass-up deal, you should have already determined what size and type tires you wanted to run for your intended use (which you haven’t told us).
2. Wheel offset is a critical piece of info when determining tire fit. Do you know the offset?
3. You haven’t said what type of suspension you plan to use either.

my offsets are 40mm and im thinkin of gettin michelin pilot sort a/s 245/45/18 tires and the springs im thinkin of gettin are tokico hp springs.

Um, negative on the 245's. You could do 235/40/18's with that offset. You could drop a couple inches easily enough. Someone else can probably help you with feedback on the suspension

Agreed. 235/40/18 works on a +40mm offset on a 2G. Partial fender-lip rolling is all you'll have to do. Five minutes with a softball bat.
