18X8.5 AND 18X9.5 what size tire?

Just like title says, what sized tire would be ideal for these wheels on an 04 coupe 6mt?

Thanks.

Since the stock 18s come with tires with a profile of 45 would using a 40 effect the speed reading and milage since the circumference of the entire setup will be slightly less?

245/40/18 and 275/40/18 has same overall diameter as the OEM setup. Everything will work just fine.
