18x8 +40et, 235/40/18 tire, dropped on the eibachs, would be my personal choice if you were sticking with the enkei imolas and didnt want to do any fender rolling. you could get away with some 8.5 wide wheels if you really wanted, but you'd have to look elsewhere brand-wise cause i think the imolas are only offered in 18x8 fitment. plus theres no real reason, imo, why you'd need a wider, heavier rim if you have to keep the same size tire anyway...

Thanks for the help. im assuming the stock tires will fit on those wheels? I dont want to waste the new stock tires so ill use those up then get the 235/40/18 tires next.

if you must, yes, the stocks can be stretched onto an 18x8 wheel until they wear out and you can go for the 235s. or just wait and keep the stock wheels/tires on the car until you can afford both wheels and tires at once and you'll be able to enjoy the full swap all together
