For the front, I think the lowest you should go is +32. That will be hella flush. 24 will probably stick out a little like Dave said, and the 18 in the back with an 8.5 width will def. stick out. If that's the look you want, go for it. Don't know how good it will look or how safe or unsafe it would be.

thats pushing it hard core, i'd stay away from that if i were you and spacers aren't going to help you thats only going to push them out further.

what would be the perfect offset for 18x8 for the fronts and rears? I saw in one thread that you could go with 25 offset for the front and 20 in the rear with 18x8s.

If you get 'em, you'll probably have to get some stretched tires on them. Really stretched.

depends what you want, if you want perfectly flush then 25 is about right but if you want driveability then probably close to 35 would be good

the front are fine.
if you dial in negative camber in the rear, it'll fit just like those crazy VIP cars.

Considering the fact that your car is already slammed that's a big fat negative!
