Default whats the best wheel size ?

Whats the best wheels size, i run 8x18 offset 50 now but i think they are to wide and i cant lower the car as much as i want. I have 225/40 in front and 235/35 rear.
Cause it touches the inner fender in front, rear is cool.


Whats the perfect size wheels and tires...i really want to go with the llow low profile at the tires.



I realy like this setup below anyone knows what wheel and tire size this is ??

Diameter doesn't matter as much, its the offset that is the key. To really slam the car, you need +50 in front and +60 in back.

The problem starts with you have the same wheels front and rear. Number two is you have a much shorter tire on the rear. With the same size wheels and the width I guess I would just run the 225/40R18 all the way around.
