18 inch fitment question

Will a 18x8.5 with 35,40,or 45 offset fit? Thinking about putting some Rotiform wheels on the jazz

Thanks, 8.5 is the smallest for 18's, what is ideal 18x7.0? With what offset? My first choice was ccw or work meister mr1 but I didn't want to go over 2k on wheels and the Rotiform was a little over 1k

I'm running their 18x8.5 45mm, but I think the 4x100 is still on hold right now. Had to have mine redrilled, fitment is pretty aggressive but works with camber bolts, rolling and pulling

Sure, I just added the camber bolts and then we got hit with rain and a dust storm (Love living in AZ), so let me give it a quick douche and I will post some tomorrow

I am running 225/35R18 on 18x7.7 +42. It almost the same size as stock wheel/tire with 0.8% bigger. No fender mod.

honestly the fronts scared the hell out of me when I first bolted them on because they stuck out a good 2 inches, but now fenders are pulled about 3/4" in the front and the camber bolts saved it for sure. The rear is a really good fitment to start with but does take some rolling and pulling to work. If I knew then what I do now, I would run a 205/40 to save some of the bodywork
