I dont think you are going to fill the gap with 18's. On mine, my tires are actually smaller in diameter than stock since Im running a 275/35 so Im scraping a bit more being on springs already. I didnt want the thickness or the price range of a 275/40. That seems to bump up the price a lot even in 265's but its necessary if you want to keep the stock diameter. If you want to get rid of gap you have to drop it but on 18's you will be scraping and fearing speed bumps. If you dont want to be that low and just want to get rid of gap, go up to 20's and drop it.

Would dropping the car on springs get rid of the gap if I am running 18s?
Coilovers are a little out of my price range while I am in school.

You have plenty of options with springs to go with a mild drop to an aggressive drop. Swift springs are gonna be your biggest drop. Eibach and tanabe are gonna be more of a medium drop and Nismo springs will be a mild drop. Heres of my car yesterday driving. I'm on Tanabe springs with a 275/40 in the rear and a 255/45 on front. Same diameters as OEM.
