Default 18x8 rims on 225/45/18 tires?

So I'm wondering if i should buy these rims for my black tC2. [RIMS]. I don't really have any experience with this so I'm wondering if these rims would fit my stock tires and hopefully not give me any problems.

Currently:
Tires: 225/45/18
Rims: 18x7.5
I'm believe the bolt pattern is 5x114.3.

Also the car is lowered about 2 inches if that would give any problems like rubbing and what not...

So the question is would 18x8 rims give me problems or no?
It seems like the bead would stick out a bit and idk if that would be noticeable and look bad or what.

These rims see like they are made for bmw's for some reason. Feels like i'd be driving a tc with bmw rims lmao.

Offset is the the big question...get/use them only if you can them with a 38-mm to 40-mm offset.

AG has pretty conservative offset, probably go for the +45. That will be bring the wheel 11mm closer to the fender than your stock wheels

I found these xxr rims that look pretty good.

xxr 527

Would that be fine with my stock tires? I think it will stick out a little but would it be fine?

Those would work fine...a little low on the offset, but that would bring the wheels out closer to the edge of the fenders...the other poster has it wrong.
