if u rolled ur fender already .. i guess ull be good with 32 ..
try this application:
http://www.rimsntires.com/rt_specs.jsp


i used this member's setup as reference:
https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/7323279-post162.html
with 18x9 +36

and it seems like 18x8.5+32 will stick out about 6mm (vs the above setup)
u should be ur own judge to see if thats what you want ...

also, im running 225/45 ..
edit: 225/40 might be MORE stretch than my setup.

Here is a GTS with 18x8.5 +30 running 245/40 and says he only has some rubbing in rear (rolled his rears) and no rubbing in the front and he is dropped on Tein S-Tech (aprox 2" all around)

Fixed

As stated before, I am not a fan of the whole "hellaflush" look. Sorry. Just the way I feel about it.

If you don't mind rolling the living hell out of your fenders, then yeah, they will "fit" just fine. I wouldn't do that, though (there is no undoing that once it is done). You don't need an ultra aggressive offset to come out with a nice set of wheels and tires for this car.

i would say for 18x8.5 the safest would be around +42
+38 it would fit really nicely too if u rolled/will roll ur rear fenders

+38 seems to work with 225/45/18 tires.
