edit: as long as overall wheel/tire height doesn't chang too much, that guide will be pretty accurate.

I would suggest that your question also depends on the type of suspension you are running. Coilovers do not typically take up as much room as an OEM type suspension. Ride height and camber are also things to consider.
I'm looking at a set that are staggered 18x8 and 18x9 both with +38mm offset. I have been told that they will work.
The recommended tire size for the 18x8 is 215/40 18, but I'm considering 225/40 18's for the 18x8's in the setup that I am considering. I would think that the wider tire would give you some benefit.

Go baller, or go home. Lol.
JK. Do your research, and get whatever styling you want...aggressive, flush, stock-ish.. To each his own. I like aggressive offsets, personally.
