Recommend me a tire...

So here's the setup guys:

1) '01 Cl-S
2) Comptech Springs
3) Tokico HP N/A
4) 18 x 8 Volk Gt-P's (+49 offset)
5)...

You fill in #5. I was thinking about going with the Yoko EVS100 or the Dunlop Sport FM901 in 235/40/18. Is this setup going to be too wide for an 8" rim w/ the +49? What do you guys with 8" rims usually use for width? Trying to avoid any rubbing issues if at all possible. Any recommends for the tires besides the ones I listed? Thanks everyone.

Toyo T1-S probably 235s on an 8 inch rim, i have 225-40-18s on a 7.5 inch rim. They stick like glue and you can get them for under $200 per.

TOYO PROXIE T1S. I'll never buy another tire in my life.

These tires STICK to the road, and last a long time. I paid $165 each tire, but well worth it

They are pricey but excellent tire.
There is no 235/40/18!


Now, if there was the above fitment, here is my list:
1) Goodyear F1 GSD 3's (no correct size)
2) Bridgeston Potenza RE750 ($158)
3) Yokohama ES100. ($136)
4) The Sumitomo HTRZ II (Specail for $128)

I think I will pick the ES100 for best bang for the buck!

The GSD3 is reviewed here by a CLS owner.
