Getting 18 in Volks Whats best setup?

Hey all im thinking about getting some Volk GT-U in the 18 inch form. What is the best tire size and Offset i should use? My car is lowed with the Tein S tech springs so thats about 2 in up front and i think .75 or something in the back. I dont want any rubbing so what do you guys think?

18x9.5 with 255 tires is the best volk set up i think.https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=120997 check out this link.i know it's not gt-c's but the offsets might work

I'm in the same predicament, I have S-Tech springs and am in the market for 18s. I believe I am going to get rims in 18x8 or 18x8.5 with a +30 offset of so.

The tires for S-Techs look to be 235/40/18 for these rim sizes. I've read evo's with 245/40/18 tires and have rubbing problems with the same setup.

Ok im a newbie about this stuff, but what is the main point of having bigger width, i was going to go with 18x8 not sure about offset either.
