It's probably better to ask this question in the wheels and tires forum. Some of us believe if you have to modify your vehicle to make the wheels fit, then they don't.

But besides the +20, +30. Most of those would fit if you add more camber, roll your fenders, and pull them. Oh and run stay with a 245 and under.

But out of the one that you posted, these would probably be the best bet. These are still going to require a little bit of help.

Work Emotion XD-9 - 18 x 7.5 $372.00
Offset: +53

Work Emotion XD-9 - 18 x 8.0 $381.00
Offset: +45

People are doing crazy offsets now, so the ones above are probably considered conservative.

FTR Tom, my Volk SF Challenges rubbed after rolling the fenders and -2.0* camber. Sizes? 18x8 +48 offset. I did have some stereo equipment in the back. Shocks were Koni Yellows with GC/Eibach perch/springs. Was running a 245 tire(KDW-2's).

Yeah. Knew that. Were you running 245s or 255s? Either way, was trying to let the OP know it's going to rub either way, but out of all the offsets he posted, those would be the closest. Not saying that those would work without any modification.
