Lowering my car on 18s. What do I need?

So I know there are several other threads on here pertaining to what you need to do in order to lower your car, in order to prevent uneven tire wear and things of that sort. However I would like some input on my personal situation, and set up. I ordered a set of BC Coilovers (7KG Front, 5KG Rear). They should arrive by the end of next week. My wheels are 18" x 7" and the tires are 215-35-18, however I am looking into getting a slightly taller tire (either 225 or 235.... suggestions?) I am not looking to slam the car, but I would like to eliminate the wheel gap and possibly go a tiny bit lower than that. Since I'm not slamming it, do I need adjustable camber plates, spacers, links etc? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. You guys are the best!!!
