What width are you trying to get? 18x7.5 or 18x8?

I'd say don't go any wider than 235 on either and have a 40+ offset to prevent any rubbing. I have 17x7 225/45/17 and am very close to rubbing but I don't. 38 offset on mine with Tanabe NF210 drop (1.1/1.7....1.5 overall)

 ^The 225 will help in your cornering and steering response as well. I noticed a nice difference in mine when I got mine. Just a MINIMAL touch of the wheel and the car shoots to one side

 Im running 225/40/18's and the fit is perfect. 235s can be done.
