Default Upgrading wheels & Tires need help on sizes

Have a DB Enthusiast with the stock 17's on right now. Want to bump up to 18" wheels and tires and having a problem deciphering sizes of tires that match rims.
What are good combos (Wheel & tire sizes) that aren't going to throw the ride out of spec??
TY in advance

Question

Where do they print the weights of the wheels? The manufacturing method? The discount tire website seems well layed out, but I didn't see that.

It's my understanding that right about 18 lbs is close to what the track rays and Nismo wheels come in at, and the couple times I've seen weights listed they seem to be about there. Is that standard?
