I’m looking into get 18in rims that are slightly wider to be more flush. Im thinking 8 or 8.5 and I’m curious what kind of offset range I should be looking in. I’m also curious what’s the fattest tire sidewall I can realistically get away with without any rubbing. I’m also looking for a slightly more comfortable ride.
use a tire and wheel calculator.
and then go test fit.
that doesn’t help. The calculator requires some of the information I requested. I was hoping to talk to someone who maybe had experience with it so I could order online without the guess work.
well, it takes research...
we do have a wheel and tire section...if ya took a little time to research

Tires sit almost flush with fender. Maybe a few MM of "Poke Out" The rear tires slightly rub on hard corners and steep driveways. I'm sure a mild drop will cause slight bit of camber and tires will tuck in perfectly with no rubbing.

You have it backwards. Lower the offset, the more poke you get. In order to sit the same in regards to being flush with the fender lip, he would need a 19x9"+36 offset, which would end up flush with 19x8.5" +30 [19x8.5 +30 = 78mm poke w/ 138mm inset, 19x9 +36 = 78mm poke w/ 150mm inset]. In order to tuck more and prevent rubbing, he would need an offset higher than +36 as it will be sunken in more.
Based on the specs of your 3 piece wheels, and having a slight drop, the wheels were more than likely poking out from the fender by 5-10 mm after the adjusted static camber.
i realized after that I didnt clearly explain myself, I was talking about 3 piece type wheels with lips... The black ILX in the pics in this thread has wheels that are "flat face"? I don't know the actual term... But they are not 3 piece wheels with lips... the wheels I test fitted had about a 3 inch lip. They fit EXACTLY flush, no poke. it was awesome... Deal fell through due to seller being kind of a douche about pricing and kind of trying to bait and switch on me...And actually I saw some cheaply priced 3 piece Work wheels that were 18x9 +38, which I'm pretty sure would fit flush as well... BUT not much of a lip.
