Default 18x7.5 all around..? tire size?

If I got 18x7.5" wheels on all four corners, what size tires can i run?

They are like 45 offset front and rear. I know the rear should be wider but the ones i want aren't available in the right offset and they are just for daily driving anyway.

I would say 215/40R18 and 225/40R18. With a 45mm offset anything bigger on the rear is going to stickout of the wheel well.
If I can help with the tires let me know.
Thank you.

Actually, I was using a set of TE-37 rims 18 x 7.5 with 40mm offset all around running 215/35/18 for the front and 235/40/18 for the rear. They didn't stick out. They actually looked really good.

I'm curious to how you feel they handle etc.? Since i got a bike, I have no interest in taking the car to the track etc. and I want some inexspensive RH rims, but I also want to know the car isn't going to all of a sudden handle all funny... ?

Bigger tires for the front???

This isn't a Civic

It's not FWD. If anything, you want wider tires on the rear.
