Default EP3 Rim Fitment

Hey guys I'm looking tor the biggest, most aggressive rim/tire size I can safely and comfortably run on my '04 EP3. I'm thinkin on gettin some Volk GT-Fs 18"X8.5" with either a 215 or 225mm tire. What kinda offset is best? I really need my rims to completely fill the wheel wells all the way just before they protrude outside the body lines. Any suggestions?? Thanks a lot!!!

You could easily achieve this with proper suspension (pref. coilovers) and then it's really up to how low you want to go and what size rim you'd like to comfortably ride on. I honestly wouldn't go bigger than 17s on our cars, but I've seen a few people run 18s and they aren't too bad.

Don't go 225 on a 16" you will most likely rub, my buddy is running into this problem right now. 215 on 16, or 225 on 17+, in my opinion
