If you can post the size (diameter x width, for example: 17x9.5 & 18x10.5) of your wheels, I can tell you what the ideal sizes are and what the smallest size that you could run without modifying your speedometer.

You sure thats the size? It matters alot 
... really it does!
For the front 17x8.5 the ideal size would be 245/45/17.
For the rear 18x9.5 the ideal size would be a 275/35/18.
I'd recommend BF Goodrich G-Force Sport tires. Mainly because of their long wear rating of 340 AA and good price. The fronts would only be $111 each and the rears would be $166 each if you ordered from tire rack.
You need to be absolutely sure what size your wheels are before you get any tires, because an inch makes a huge difference. The original tire sizes you put in the first post of this thread would be more for a 17x9.5 and 18x10.5. I just dont want u to order the wrong thing

yeah it sux but thanks for the infoAND the smallest wheel that is recommended for a 295/35/18 is 10"... where yours are 9.5". You need to bring that up as a safety concern and see if they might let you swap them for the correct sizes at least.
And, If you haven't paid them anything yet... just tell them to get over it because you want the correct size tires.
