I have the H&R Sport springs (about 1.75" drop f/r) and I run 18's just fine. Just make sure your offset is above +45 or you may have issues. Also you'll have to go with a fairly low profile tire if you dropped 2"... probably 40 or 35. My last rims were +45 and they were OK... my current setup is +48 and they're fine too. Pics and specs in sig....

As for Camber kits... I have the SPC which work great.

225 or 235/40-18 for tires. you may need a rear camber kit.

definitely go with 225/40/18's, 235/40/18's are the better match in comparison to stock tires, but since ur dropped 2", go with the 225's

With the Sportline springs you should stick with +45 or higher like juniorbean said. Go with 18X8 with 225/40/18 rubber. Good luck.
