New Rims 18x7.5 what size tires are using?

I have a new set of Rims coming, the rims are 18x7.5. The size of tires on them now is 225-40-18, the tires do not come with the rims.
So I have been looking all weekend at the different types of tires as well as the sizes.
I am Leveled not Lowered.
My question to those who have the same size rim is what brand, and size of tires do you have?
Thank you in advance!

that's what the SS rolls on stock. i'm thinking about going to some 245/40R18 first time i need new tires...225 just don't provide enough grip area for our torque lol. anyone know if 245/40R18 are a problem?

They're like 80 bucks each look cool. and perform good enough for what they'll be used for. i figure that they'll be way better than the stock tires. and i've never complained bout them. Plus they're cheap!!!!!!!!
