Default new wheels

hi CL =D
i'm in the market for new wheels. i'm not trying to look hella flush nor am i trying to look tucked like the oems wheels.
i'm getting 18 inch wheels and planning to keep my oem tires.

so my question is what width and offset should i get so that i won't rub and won't have to pull fenders or anything.

thanks for reading CL! ^__^

35mm-30mm is perfect for you.

18x8 +30's
18x9 +30's

if you were to get new tires, i would go 8.5 front and 9.5 rear even with the 9 rear, it might be a stretch

Are you going to drop the car, or are you going to run it at its stock ride height?
