18x8 +30 should be near ok.
u can run that setup just fine,
no rubbing or anything. i suggest going multipiece
since with a 8" width that rim would be heavy
unless its a hi quality rim..
IE: te37, le37, se37k, those are nice 1 piece's..
and u can rock gt-n.. i HEARD they make them in +31
offset but 18x7.5(which is still siiick)

low offset is what you want to go for the "flush" look. i have +25 offset and my fronts are flush. the backs could use just little bit more (+5 mm) to be perfect. but i am happy anyways.

user beskone has some staggered offset axis 7mods that are 18inch and flush and sweeett. check his profile or his posts.

thanks man! :)

ya i have 18x7.5" +42 front and +35 rear, and the rears *still* aren't even with the front! i was thinking about running a 5mm spacer in the back and i think that will probably even them out really close i think it's about a 10-15mm difference between front and rear , just gotta get around to picking up the spacers and seeing how they work.

what do you all recommend for a 17"x7.5" 41 offset rims with what size tire (215/40/17 or 215/45/17) and springs(espiler/eibach -1.6/-1.8 or tanabe -2.0/-2.2)?

I'd run the 215/40R17 tires. This is closest to factory tire height. I'm sure either set of springs will be fine. I have the Eibachs and I have plenty of clearance still with no rubbing issues. The extra 0.4" shouldn't rub either as there is plenty of room. The only thing about 17×7.5 ET41 wheels is that they will look tucked under.
