Choose the best tire size based on the car you have, not based on a particular rim.

The best 18" size for a 2007 Civic Si Sedan is 215/40-18. It can be mounted on rims 7.0-8.5" wide, so it can be mounted on either end. But I really don't know why you would get a "staggered" fitment, i.e. rims of different widths, front vs rear. On a Civic, it's not needed, and it will prevent you from rotating your tires all the way around to even out the wear.

The answer is still 215/40-18. There are a lot of good tires available in that size, including the Continental ExtremeContact DW, Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110, Kumho Ecsta SPT, and Yokohama S.drive.
