New guy here. I just bought a new 2015 lx coupe red. I have googled looked and searched high and low for the wheel and tire set up I want. I want an 18" wheel that will sit flush or almost perfectly flush with the outer edge of the fender maybe a mm or two more but that's about as far as I wanna go. I need to know the best width and offset to achieve this look. I will not be lowering the car and will run a 225/40/18 tire. Thanks in advance guys.
 
First of all welcome to the site!
Second I believe you will still have plenty of wheel gap if you throw 18s on the car, why not try lowering springs? It keeps the car at a nice height and you won't have to change your stock suspension...
 
g35 wheels on a 9th gen for example.

18x8 30 offset

I would love a small drop just for some added style, but I've never messed with anything suspension related ever.
 
Eibach spring set is your best bet!! might want to have a professional shop install them if you dont feel comfortable messing with it your self
 
I would recommend Eibach Pro kit. I had Eibach Sportlines and they were soft.

I'll have to look for a shop for that because I don't want to mess with too much I don't know how it affects warranty and this is my main and only ride. I did like the 18x8et30's there like right there almost flush but I think I could stand a few more mm's out if possible (without rubbing of course) with stock suspension.. Thank you for your help!!
 
Look into the H&R sport springs also. Best price I've seen is on tire rack, for the eibach pro kit and the h&r sport springs.
