18inch fitment

im going to get flamed hard, but after looking at the excel spreadsheet for sizes i couldnt make sense of it.

Im looking for 18inch rims but i would want them to all be the same size and have the same size tires on all 4.



Size 1: 18×9.5
Size 2: 18×10.5
Offsets: +30, +22, +12, +0

Which should i go with and what offset?

Also what is the widest tire i can fit?

lets assume the rx7 will be at stock height, what should i go with?
What about if i added coilovers?

What about if i had feed wide fenders and coilovers? I tried posting this question in the shine auto section but nobody has responded.

Im purchasing them for my future rx7, that im looking to get this summer. Id like to know what the best size is for the rx7 and once i get that information ill be able to know if they fit my rx8 then ill slap them on in the mean time.

Thanks!

A common listing seems to be 18x10 with a 50mm offset. With 285's as the largest size common fitment I see. I'm on 17's though, still haven't gone for 18's as I'm trying to keep some sidewall to deal with our wonderful back roads.

Would 18x10.5+30 with 265's both front and rear fit?

thanks for the response, i know this question has to be beaten to death.

Not even close. They could be made to fit the rear with an aggressive fender roll, slight pull.. but the fronts aren't fitting. Im running an 18x9.5 +22 all around with 255/35, and up front it required 20mm oversize fenders.
