Hotchkiss and 18"s which tire and offset?

I have the Hotchkiss lowering springs on my car now. Looking to put 18" wheels on but I don't want to roll fenders or rub. What offset and tire size do I need to get to insure no rubbing for sure?
Thanks

18x6 et35mm with a 205/40R18 won't rub for sure! j/k!

18x8 et35mm with a 235/40R18 is a safe bet. Will fit pretty much like factory except it'll sit out 3mm (1/8") more than stock.

18x9 et35mm with a 255/35R18 is real close to rubbing the rear fender edges but it's a nice look.

there are many combos you can run but fender rolling/trimming starts to become a factor.

you asked for no rubbing and no rolling so 18x8 et35 with a 235/40R18 would be best eevn tho there are other combos you could go with w/o rubbing.

PM me if there's a specific combo you wanna run and i'll tell you if it'll work.

I'm running 18x8.5 +30 CE28's (235/40/18) mine don't even come close to rubbing.Even @ full lock.

I want a wider stance so I plan to run spacers to kick em out more and still think they will be perfect.maybe a little rolling on teh rear though.

I have the same size CE28's w/ 245/40/18's and Eibach springs. I rolled the fenders just to be safe, but probably wouldn't have needed it. They only rub in the front sometimes when the suspension compresses and the wheel is at full lock.
