Not to mention, if you've no plans to lower the car, 18s will look better too. 20s would look ridiculous at stock ride height (or even sport suspension ride height)
Unless you go 19 or 20 forged. They will save alot of weight.

Hi, if you still remember whats are the tires size did you run?

cuse my front is 18"x8.5 +30, what tires size should I run? 225/40 or 235/40? I will be droping the car on Tein SS, and I want to make it flush with my fender without modding any my fender.

you will need 215 in the front to avoid rubbing, i used to have 8.5 +30 with 225/40 even with mild drop like f-sport i still rub.

fender liner yes, but only full turn tho, if you can stand the full turn rubbing i think you are ok. or simply just get 225/35/18, im 99% sure no rub, again depends on how low you are.
