I want to get 18 in rims but want car to avoid too muh gap!

Hey guys I was wondering what set up do you guys recommend to get the most aggressive lowest stance on my car with 18 inch rims and avoid a gap like this>>>>>>>>>> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-H...sspagenameZWDVW

Just in case the link above does not work I was referring to lilc32's car who has been trying to sell his 18 inch HRE's. He has 225/40/18f and 255/35/18 in rear. The rear looks great, but that front gap is unacceptable for me.

I may consider lowering the front if need be, but no fender rolling or cutting.
The reason for 18 inch over 19 is simply because I am in school in the northeast nyc are and enough said about that lol!

Believe it or not the factory set up is perfect for me...perfect gaps and aggressive stance, but I want to go 18 and not 17.

Any suggestions? Pics of his car are in the classified section.
Anyone here pulled off a nice 18 in rim aggressive stance? If so tell me what you are running and recommend. Even if you dropped the car or not. I think I may have to do that.

take a look at Cappa's car, he has 18's and they don't look bad at all. the gap is still there, but it's pretty nice. I almost went for the same rims he got...
