I'm currently on H&R springs installed by the PO which I'm guessing lower it about 1.3 inches although it looks lower. I'm looking at getting a set of Rotiform NUEs drilled to 5x108 since I love the wheels and they do affordable custom drilling. I'm looking at 18x8.5 , but I'm not sure which offset to go with, et35 or et45 also recommended tires sizes to avoid rubbin'. I would rather not roll my fenders but I will if necessary.

45 and 225's if you don't wanna roll, otherwise 35 would be nice and flush but would poke a bit if running a 235.

Hmm I was worried about rubbing on the inside with the 45, but flush would be most desirable, I wonder how 35 offsets with 225 would be? 225 with a 8.5 wide wheel seems like not enough rubber but a little stretch might look alright?

Won't have hardly any stretch and with the 35 you would be flush up front for sure. I'm 18x8 +35 and have a little room in front and room for days in the rear. Ideal setup is 18x8.5 30's offset and run a 225 with slight stretch. I don't like the look of square tires and the super stretch looks dumb. Pic for reference, these are 215's by the way and are nearly square on an 8".

NUE's are going to look sick. Looks like I'm not the only one ordering some 5 spoked wheels. Can't wait to see them.

I know I can't wait! 225/35 or 225/45? With the et35

8.5" +35 front, 9.5" +45 rear if you don't care about not being able to rotate them. 215/40 and 225/40

35mm offset is fine. You can't use 225/45/18's, the diameter will be too far off from stock.(over 4%) 225/35/18 is marginal, almost 3% difference, I would not use that size either. You can use 225/40/18, 235/40/18 and 235/35/18 that's it, those are your three best choices on 8.5 x 18 rims.
