18 x 8 w/ 51+ offset
I'm looking to buy these work wheels that are 18 x 8, 51+ offset. what are my options? 225/40/18 or 235/40/18 tires?
Also I will be gettin the BBK Rotora soon. will I need wheel spacers as well?

235/40, wider the better. You shouldn't rub with that offset

You should not have any problem with that setup. And you can run 235-40-18 tires fine.
+51 is a high enough offset.

might as well go with 235/40 because you can. Nice wheels BTW.

You should not have a problem with 235's. Those would look great.

I doubt you will need any spacers with the 18X8 rims. Most 8" rims fit BBK's fine.
