Im getting 18"s soon, and I am wondering what would be the best size tire to go with considering i have the lower trd springs, and I do not want the whole wheel diameter to larger than the stock wheel and tire diameter. (i dont want to have to calibrate my speedometer)

Best match to keep the stock diameter with 18's is a:
225/35-18 tire.
There's been some debate that going with a 40 sidwall is better for the ride comfort. But then that alters your spedo/odo by around 5% which is quite a bit.
There is a tire/wheel calculator in the "other" secion of the website. Check it out.
Ive 225/40/18 on mine but the car is not lowered. Speedo reads slow by 4% but that is only going to mean at average speeds you are reading slow by about 1mph. Motorway you would read slow by about 3mph, police won't stop you for that. (Not in UK anyway!)

Yokohama Parada if you on a budget 159 a piece i think
Michelin Pilot Sport if $$$$ not an issue. Check www.tirerack.com
