Suspension question

Hey guys, I have a 2004 G35 coupe with the 18 inch OEM rims, and the size it recommends for me online is 225/45/18 in the fronts and 245/45/18 in the rears. I lowered my car on Tanabe coilovers, and my car sits pretty low, but I guess it could be lower. I'm currently looking for my front tire sizes, and I seen some that are 225/40/18, so my question is will that work? I understand it will lower the height of my tire, but by how much? Will it make that much of a difference? I guess it would look nicer with the front lowered and it would give a nice stance to my car, but I wanted to ask you guys first what you guys think. Since I lowered my car, I'm not sure if it comes with a camber adjustment on the coilovers I got, but since my tires tilt in, what kind of camber kit do I get? And do I just zero it out to make it back to original settings? Thanks for any input!

When I had 18" Volk GTCs on my coupe I ran 245X40 front and rear and it handled much better! Really never understood why Nissan insists on using 225s on the front of their cars when handling and stability is way better with the 245s...Gary

Just so I'm clear, you don't have to use staggered wheel sizes? I was under the impression I had to. Is there a difference in the actual wheel?

So you guys recommend running 245 all the way around?
I'm currently 225/45 in the front and 245/45 in the back
