18x8.75 +20 or 18x9.75 +20. I'm guessing the 8.75 would be closer to flush? I'm new to this sorry guys just looking for some guidance. And what size tire would be smart to do? And I'm guessing I'll have to roll and maybe pull my fenders right?

If you do get them, get them for cheap because those are in terrible condition.

Looking for some advice..
Not looking to roll/pull my fenders, would conservative fitment be attained by a 18x8.5 38+mm offset - 5mm spacer with 225/40/18?

Or am I just going about this all wrong?

if u want the fitment it should work, u dont have to be dumped to achieve the look you want.

just have to adjust the coilovers so you can drive and make sure it clears, rim wise on the inside and out

basic answer haha

I ran 8.5 +35 with 225 tires with no issues. The front is totally fine. The rear only might rub just a wee bit if you have bouncy lowering springs. If you have coils it should be totally fine.

Well, I never drove with my coils all the way down. I'd like to try.

I do have coils. I run a 225/40/18 now on stock rims.
The rims I want would be wider.

Basically I'm just trying to get it to look flush. No poke or crazy stuff like that.

oh that's nice, your mom would say hi but her mouth is really full right now, but she did wave..... or maybe she was just showing me that she can do what she's doing with no hands. she's very talented, you should be proud.
