Thumbs up Work Meister S1 3pc 18x8 +42 18x8.5 +62

So I'm about to purchase the Work Meister S1 3pc., 18x8 +42 18x8.5 +62

Now I'm wondering if this is a good setup and what tire would be best?

I read the Wheel Fitment guide and it said I should maintain the same stagger of OEM AP2 (7 front vs 8.5 rear). What tire should I look to get for best possible fitment?

225 front? 255 rear? Would 255 fit 8.5 rear? And would 225 front rub? The fitment guide said 225 tires: +53 offset minimum (7.0

basically these offset are really agressive and really nice! just make sure you find the exact tire size because if you don't it might rub like crazy and stick out!

Do you have coils on your car?

the rears you're fine, the front you have to run at least 1.5degree camber and run a either 225 or a 215 tire

here was my 17x8 front with a 43 offset: 1.5 degree camber in the front with 225.
