Default Ideal offset for 18's on a 4th gen?

I have a line on a set of used RH C5 18's with tires.
1st: Is it possible that they are 4 lug universal? Prelude & Civic(doesn't sound right)
2nd: Will I have clearance issues with 40series tires and Eibach Pro-Kit?
3rd: Are there cheap knockoffs out there I should worry about getting?
I just want a set of sweet street rollers, and the price seems very right.
Even if they have a bit of curb rash.....

If its a 7.5'' wide rim, I would suggest 45mm-48mm if you can find them.

I am making due with 42mm. I am also running a 225/35 tire.

Wow you have *****! The streets in CanuckLand must be awesome. The only guy I have seen run 35's around here bent the rims twice.
You don't have rubbing problems with a 225? When I took my race rubber off, I noticed that they rubbed a bit on the fender well. They are 225's....

Canuckland? I live in Arizona.

225/35 really arent that thin of a sidewall....215/35 is however.

The only place I rub is in the top of the fender liner and that is only because these goddamn Tein SS springs are so damn soft and this only happens on HARD compression of the shock, like in heavy dips at 65mph+. I dont hit my fenders at all though.
