if I got these wheels and left suspension stock(just for now) , would it make car look like it needs drop more than it already does even though the outside diameter with 245/40/18s is EXACTLY the same?

I was thinking about 245/45/18 (26.60") instead of 245/40/18 (25.72").

I am in the same boat chuck. But I have narrowed my choices down significantly. If you got those wheels I dont think it would look horrible without a drop but I would definately plan to drop it in the future.
I personally think you should get a nice set of 18 or 19" staggered wheels for a real nice custom look. Good luck with your choice. Keep us updated

Looks good, drop would be more aggressive for sure, but I don't think that it makes car look higher than stock wheels, I think it actually looks better than stock. How does it ride?

it would look OK with 245/45/18's and stock ride height (fills up the gap SOME)
it would look DECENT with 245/40/18's with a mild drop (l-tuned)
it would look GREAT with 245/40/18 with a coilover SLAM or 245/45/18 with l-tuned drop
