I need help choosing the proper tire size

I have a 08 TL-S, currently on Tiens Street Advance Susp. But I currently raised the car back to stock for the winter, I also purchased a new set of used Work Wheels Varianza T1S 18x9 18x10 +30. The rear tires have camber wear &I am getting road noise from the front. I decided to buy a new set of tires when I set the rims to get poweder coated. The tires currently on them are Falken ( sorry can't remember which model ) but the tire size are 225 40 18 Front & 235 40 18 Rear, I am planning on lowering my car again next month (hopefully tucking or close to tucking) but I mounted the wheels on the car &I notice my front is SLIGHTLY lower then the rear & I figure has to be cuz of the front tire, I was thinking of going 225 45 18, but I was just also told 215 45 18, I want my tires to look all the same size & height even though I know the numbers will be different.

What do you guys recommend?

I also know I have to adjust my rear camber when I lower the car, but do you think I will have any problems with these wheels in the rear?

My last setup was CCW LM20 18x10.5 all around with the offset of +38 front & +25 rear. Once I went past -3.5 on my camber y rims would sometime hit the rear quarter panel when I would go up a driveway
