18x8.5 et 25 because you would need to run a lower profile tire and have to perform some fender work with your other suggestion.

well it all depends on if you are lowered and how low? And that will determine what tire you can go with and what needs to be done to the fenders. If you are staying stock height, you don't have to worry about much.

actually, 18x9.5 +20 is near perfect flushness for the rear, and 18x8.5 +25 is pretty flush for the front, assuming your low, you would need to stretch the tires and roll the fenders

18x9.5 +20 is WAY agressive for the front, your talking about 10mm of poke! You would have to do an insane stretch, and run tons of camber, and do a fender roll and pull to even try it

18x8.5 +25 might be better for you if you want all 4 rims the same. You wont be flush, but you wont rip your fender off either

bforbrian pulled off 18x9.5 +22 offset slammed with some stretched tires and a roll. There is a dude with 18x9.5 +15 BBS replicas with stretched tires, lowered but fenders aren't rolled. I think he said he only rubs sometimes.

You may have to run streched tires in the front to fit +20. In that case 225
