21/35/18 isnt a real size mostly the 21 part. go 25

225/40-18 tires will work fine. I just purchased some Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Postion 235/45-17 from tirerack.com for my HFP 17's for $560 and $43 shipping for a total of $640. Read the reviews on their site. besides, one of the autocrossers on 8thCF gave me the thumbs up on this tire.

225.40.18 - dont use anything else - it will work perfect.
Choosing tires is like choosing carpet... theres a million different types colors shapes purposes.

definately 225 40 18. ive seen dealers put 215 40 18 because its more closer to oem specs. but 225 is better

With stock specs and suspension, 225/40 is great. With non-OEM wheels, a 215/40 reduces the chance of rubbing.
