I am debating on which ones I want either the Stance or Pedders. Are you still having rubbing issues on the rear? Cause I don't want that lol.

if he's having rubbing issues different coilovers wont fix that, he'd have to not lower the car as much or get different wheels/tires. Rubbing is just part of being low on these cars

Pretty much if you want the best, get stance/HSD, or get KW variant 2s.

If you want to poke get 17x9+35 if you want flush get 17x8 +35.
Just figure out which size you want and then type it in to google shopping "17x9or8 4x100"
You'll get tons of results. You can even sort by your price range.

225/40 18s won't be stretched on a 18x8.5 +45 right? Well maybe a little?

I'm looking at some Matte Bronze TSW Nurburgring

A little. It should be 235 or 245. Still in the OK range according to most tire manufacturers though.
