If you wanted to reuse your OEM tires, you would go with the 18x8.5" ET35 and 18x9.5" ET22, but the OEM tires will be slightly stretched. The recommended tire sizes would be the 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 if you were to put on new street tires. You can go with the more aggressive 245 and 275 combination as well, but you might risk rubbing onto the fender with those sizes. When looking at extreme summer tires such as the Hankook RS3 or Dunlop Star Specs, they do run a little wider so you may have a little bit of a rubbing issue, assuming you're still on OEM suspension as well.
