If the rims are 7.5" wide, I recommend getting some Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 P225/40R18 Z.

As for the brakes, give them a good cleaning with brake cleaner, then a good scrub with anti-rust/rust converter. Wash them off real good. Let them dry, then spray a high temperature (engine) paint) on the calipers. By the time you're done painting the last set of calipers, the others should be pretty dry. Just put the wheels back on, and take it for a spin. The heat from braking will help cure the paint.

This is what I did with my brakes, and they look great! I used gloss black.
