Square: 235f, 255r.
Stretch: 215f, 235r.
adjust aspect ratio to suite a ~25" tall tire.

*edit* this guy has 17x8.5+30 with 235, and 17x9.5+43 with 255. It's not an 18", but you get the idea. Pretty square.

If you want the narrow ones, then 215/40/18 front, and 235/35/18 or 235/40/18 rear. The 40 series rear will give you more of a raked look (larger in rear).

You may want to run a 10mm spacer up front for a more even (flushness) look, too.
