From what I've seen and read, an 18x8" rim with a 48-50mm positive offset will likely fit, depending on the tire (225/35-18 is roughly the same outside diameter as stock). Just as important, look at the weight - try to stay under 20 lbs on the street, or the ride will deteriorate.

I have the same question about width, but on a 17" rim. I found 17x8.5" Rota Slipstreams with a 48mm ET, and I'll use 235/40-17 tires.

I'm also thinking about 18" rims, but I go back and forth. I don't need to make a decision yet since I've not bought the car! But at least I'm "getting my ducks in a row" on planning the suspension and wheel/tire mods.

thanks rpmchris
I think that those Rota Slipstreams will fit, because brian and some other guys have some 18x9.5 all around, though they have them for track only..... I think
