Default 18 x 8.5 48mm offset

As the title says, I'm looking at some wheels and they come in 18" x 8.5 with 48mm offsets...

I'm clueless as to what tire size I should look for, can anyone chime in?
Will this work out on my lowered car with some fender rolling?

I suppose you could make the wheels fit but may have some rubbing. The handling would not be as good either with the same tire and wheel all the way around. Stay on the narrow size for the tires and run more negative camber.

I think if you ran a 245/35/18 you should be good... a 255 will rub for sure. Even the 245 might rub. Are you lowered and do you have any fender mods?

I wasn't sure on the fit guide because they are 18's.

I'm pretty slammed on coilovers, but I'm planning on asm front and rear fenders. Would that be doable?

You need to read the Fitment thread at the to of the Wheel and Tire page. It has all the proper sizing for our cars. Pic your size and it tells you how much off set you'll need.
