18x7.5 43 or 48 offset
Which would work for me better the 43 or 48.

I'd like to run 235/40s.

This is with H&R Sport Springs.

48, what kind of wheels? 43 could work also, but they will stick out noticeably. and risk rubbing with those tires.

^ I haven't seen anyone on the forum run those wheels. Although every ad I see says they are sooooooooo popular.

They're ok, not the best quality, but not bad either.

Again...

+48

Stick towards +48 to +51 in the 7.5" and 8" rims.

18 x 8.5 will stick out beyond the fenders correct?

Note that running a 235 on an 18" rim requires 8" width to stay within spec. You would probably be ok on a 7.5" width, but you are no longer in spec.
