Here is a wheel height calculator:

But i really don't know what the goal here is. Are you just trying to get a more comfortable ride on crappy roads? Or are you trying to get a performance upgrade?
both, I guess. when cornering hard on uneven surfaces / bumps, the car moves around too much. it'll 'chatter' across lanes, sideways, etc.

i'm sure suspension upgrades could help, but with a tire sidewall increase I'm hoping to soak up those bumps and keep the car under better control. comfort will be improved too I suppose but it's not the main goal.

a 275/45/18 is 27.7, so an inch larger. I assume the car has room for an inch? so long as I figure out the offsets correctly?
