Unhappy Rim Sizes

What up everyone..

A few Quick questions i`m intrested in getting some rims. I noticed that our rims are 17X6.5

And I have definately decided that I want to go with 18s
but I don`t know if 18X8 or 18X8.5 will fit or should I just go with 18X7.5?

I don`t want my tires to look like monster truck tires :yack:
I want the agressive ,classy look

are 235 45 18 good or 225 45 18


thanks ion advance

18x7.5 would look good. Just keep in mind that after you install 18" rims.. you will need to lower the car or it will look like a 4x4

I'm with JB--further, you should go lower profile to 40 series tires as well in the same width (225)...
If you do lower your ride, wider than 225 or 7.5" wheel risks rubbing. It can be done, but you run into issues...
