18" Wheels & Lowering recco

Any thoughts on whether I will have issues lowering my 2019 F56 MCS with 18" rims? I have Michelin Pilot Sports non run-flat due to our bad roads here in Michigan and also somewhat concerned I don't want an overly harsh ride with the lowering. But man, these Gen 3's look like 4x4 lifts in front.
Also, who provides best stance and ride trade off in your opinion? NM, Craven, H&R, Eibach? Thanks!

I have my Cooper lowered on NM springs and currently am running 17x8 +35 Rotiforms. I do rub a little in certain situations, but not very often. I just ordered some custom (custom color) Revolve APPROVED No. 0119's in 18x8.5 +40. I'll post pics for you when they arrive and are installed, if you'd like. I know the rub will be a bit more with these, but I'm ok with it.
