What is the most optimal size 18" twist wheels and tires I should be looking for? I will be lowering the car with Eibach or H&R springs eventually.

- Front and rear wheel widths?
- Front and rear offsets?
- Front and rear tire sizes?
- What front and rear spacers needed (if necessary) to make the wheel/tire flush with the fender?

Thanks for the replies.
Simply put, based on your choice of wheels, the lower the offset, the better the fitment will be for your vehicle . If you're beholden to the turbo twist wheel, the following guidelines may help you decide on how to augment the fitment .

8 X 18 - bringing the offset down to around +40 or so will likely give you the look that you are going for .

10 x 18 - bring the offset down to at least +45 to 40 will achieve the same .
