most people with 18" go with a 225/35
i guess depending on the width you could go with whatever you want.
but to keep the same rolling diamater, you gotta go with a 35 series tire
otherwise your speedo will be incorrect, but its hard to tell by how much

I think that's incorrect. The most common combo I've seen is with a 215/35/18 tire. Most ppl are running a 18x7.5" rim and this is the tire aspect you want to go with in order to remain as close to stock as possible. I don't think 45 series tires are a good idea at all... especially with a 4" drop, which is probably an even worse idea. :(

With a 2" drop and 215/35's I had no problems with fender contact at all.

what about 18x7 rims with 3 inch drop ?

damn dude, why the big ass drop? Do you understand that your lowest point is not gonna be the body? You are gonna have like 1.5-2 inches clearance. Not only that, but the rear wheels are gonna be tucked in. It will look like Sheit. I would say go with a 2-2.25 inch drop, with a nice set of 7.5 inch rims, let the wheels meet with the fender a little (cause that looks so damn cool :) ) and that would be the end of that.
