by better i mean with the offset though

also the width, the 8.5 is pushing it hence why i said 7.5"

the offset on the 7.5" isnt a problem

would a +35 offset cause the tire to be closer to the outside or inside, i used to remember but i confused the @!#$ outta myself now

35mm means the rim will sit out farther

what off set would work best when my car is dropped roughly 2.5-3 inches all the way around. i want 18's for sure but i dont want it to rub at all and not stick out of the fender any

if you plan on being dropped up to 3in (which is alot if your not on bags) then get the 48mm offset. your probably gonna rub if your that low. it might be close. 2.5" i think you would be fine. to be safer you can run a 215/40/18 instead of a 225/40/18. the 215 is a slightly smaller tire but it will still keep everything accurate

hunting for wheels is starting to piss me right off those wheels arent in stock.

would a +42 offset be safe and you suggest 215/40/18 rubber?

^^^you have no idea. try finding a set of 19's to fit with air, lol. ive been looking for 2 months and still cant find anything.

so i guess im gonna settle for 18's

42mm offset should be fine if its a 7.5" width

and id do 225 /40/18 personally, but you can get away with either
