Question Need help with wheel sizing

I'm probably going to get the Volk Racing LE37Ts. What I be able to easily fit an 18x8 or 18x7.5 rim easily with 225/40/18 rubber considering that I have H&R lowering springs???? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Also, where would I be able to get the best pricing for these rims? What the best offset with these rims? Could I get away with +48 or +50 without rubbing? Thanks.

Here's a pic of the rim:

you should have little trouble with that offset. if the springs are sports, some mild trimming in the rears might be necessary but easily done.

Volk Racing 18x7.5 with 225/40/18 tires with a +48 or +50 offset should be really good. You can manage a 18x8 with 225/40/18 with a +49 offset too (that's what I have) without rubbing also.
I know a lot of people tried putting 235s, but I don't know the results of trying that tire size on a 8 inch rim...

I'm running HR Sports too. Check this link out...it has a lot of good info.

You can get a guage of what people have and what works. Good luck.

Go with 18x8 +50 with 225/40s and you'll be very happy.
