The offsets should be stamped somewhere on the back of the rim hub or spokes. An online tire calculator can help determine what will fit without modding the car.

Just an observation that the rim lip seems very thick as seen from the pics. IMHO this is contributing to the tire sidewall appearing to stand in from the rim. A ‘rim saver’ tire sidewall contour might help to minimize this effect (but it seems that your existing tires already have these sidewall extensions).

Best luck, I always enjoy seeing your projects. Your car always looks great!

Thanks. They do seem to have a thick edge. I may have to go to a tire store and buy them. I normally buy online but the tire selector doesn't work when you're working with a size thats not stock �

The way my 18s fit:
