Default Tyre size query

I have a 04 wrx on original alloys and its original bridgestone potenzas which are worn out.Having picked up 4 brand new oz superleggeras 8x18 et48 i'm a bit confused as to what size of tyre i need to go for?, taking into consideration I will be fitting prodrive springs shortly ,can I go for 225/40/18 or will I need 225/35/18 due to lower springs(30mm).Finally the superleggeras came short of a few bolts so do I need some more from oz or do the subaru ones do the same job?Thanks!

225/40/18's will be just fine and the recommended size.
Subaru nuts will be fine.

Got Prodrive springs on mine and they don't lower the car that much whatever it say's on the box

Thanks, wheel fitment seems to be a bit of a minefield in subaru circles,i'll go ahead and order some tyres now as mot is coming up and the superleggys are cluttering up the house!
