Default best size tyres to fill arches.

what is the biggest and best size of tyres that i can fit to 8 x 18 Compomotive TH2 wheels with an ET of +25? These need to fill up the arches i am olso considering lowering the car by 25mm and maybe putting on wheel spacers of about 10mm to bring the ET to 15. So can anybody help? with advice.

What do you need adaptors for? Compomotive make them in 4x108 and the right offset...
