here is my car.

thats the lowest it'll go without rubbing.
You've got a few issues that caused rubbing. First; the teins lower your car significantly over stock. Second; 245/40/18's are 3/4" taller than the stock tire. The 255/35/18's are the same as stock, and if you're going with only a moderate drop, you'll likely be fine after a fender roll.
