open properties and copy the whole Http URL jaun...
When you reply, look at the Icon right under the menu: Font....Size....COLOR Theres a lil' mountain picture icon... click that and type in/paste that HTTP URL sh*t in the window line that pops up...
Also, the reason people rub is cus they get bigger tires, if you stay low profile youll be fine with 18s and it wont raise the stance, my stance is same as it was stock. The tread wear is what counts not the profile as much.

HUGE!
Nah man Im tellin' ya, they dont rub. Not at all.
I see what ya mean about the pic looking like it rubs with the rear, thats just the angle of the shot, and some bitc* hit me in a mall parkng lot so that side is pushed in a little (look closely at the rear line) thats what makes it look more-so like its on the tire (its not), and still It doesnt rub...
You can go with 18's just get the right size tires.
Actually you can even fit 19's w/ the right tire...just dont lower it more than an inch.

Hey, check out my thread if you're curious about rear end work. I had similar but even more severe damage last year and it's STILL being fixed. It'll be perfect whwn it's done tho.
Make sure they straighten out the frame, almost guaranteed there's frame damage - not to be pessimistic, your car will be fine, but when I saw how easy these cars get bent all over just from 1 tiny hit I was amazed.
How much were you quoted for your repair? I was hit w. $7000 CAN.

Im cool with 18s cus I like the size and the look and a 2 inch drop is cool for me, if you go 19 you aint droppin to far, so f*ck dat, in my opinion.

mine were posted but... 18in Motegi DP12's...keep in mind these pics are a couple months old, and right now the 18s are off for the winter, and its lowered 3 inches front and back. in these pics the car is lowered about 2 front and back
