+35 not to aggressive,lower that number for a more flush with the fender look but you will need to roll the fenders.

What size tires are you looking to put on the car?

The offset will depend on what your looking to do with the car.

18x9 +29 is the most common done setup with the Advan

18x9.5 +22 sits perfect on the evo.

If you calculate it out. with a 9.5 your sitting at a 241 mm wide rim.

1" = 25.4mm

witha a +22 offset that gives you 98.5mm of lip/concave or 3.88 inches.

You would have to convert and swap in the numbers yet you can see where iam going with this.

a 9" rim is 225mm wide

a 9" rim compaired to a 9.5"

you would take off .25 off each side bringing you to 6.35mm off each side.

etc....etc..

Maybe iam looking into it too much haha..

I was thinking originally thinking to do oz alleggerita hlt 18x8.5 wheels and 245/40 tires, but then a friend said ,do oz ultraleggera hlt 18x9 cuase the alleggerita wheel dont come in 18x9 .he didnt mention offset.
another concern is that i dont want the profile of the tire to be extremly low.
this car is a daily driver and i live in greece , the roads hear are f**d up, bumpy ,uneven sometimes etc, so i dont want anything working against me,
another concern is , if this makes any sence i dont know if to wide a tire can work against me on the street, i dont track

all i see is a 18x8.5 with a +30 offset. you will be fine with that. As well a 245/35 tire will be perfect.

IF that is the rim your going with. This is the perfect tire combo to go with. Anything bigger will look bulged out. Anything smaller will look retarded and serve no purpose.

I run a 35+ offset on my 18x9 Advan's. From what I have read, 29-35 offset without rolling the fenders.
