since that not a huge lowering, i'd stick with the stock height... if u want same size all around, go with 9.5" wide with 275/35's all around... or if u wanted staggered, go with 8.5" with 245/40's or 9" with 265/35s up front and a 10" with 285/35's in the back...

heights...

245/50x16 = 25.6" stock
275/40x17 = 25.7" stock
245/40x18 = 25.7"
265/35x18 = 25.3"
275/35x18 = 25.6"
285/35x18 = 25.9"
295/35x18 = 26.1"
