18x8 fitment?

I know we have quite a few people running around on 18's so I figured I would ask...If I get a set of 18x8's what kind of offset am I looking at? My stock 17's are a +45mm if I'm not mistaken. Ajflan what is your offset if you read this? Your fitment looks really good...

42 is probably the most common offset for 18- 8's you are safe into the upper 30's and start to get into possible issues around the 35 mark and that also depends on the tire size you are gonna choose also. When you order the wheels they will most likely ask what you are putting them on and will give you the safest possible offset, but you can ask for a specific offset if its available for that rim

I have 18x8 wheels with a 35 offset, and they fit great.

Awesome! Thanks for the reply's guys! Also I have a GT, do the base and GT have the same front disks/calipers?

I believe that they do have the same front brake set up, but don't take my word for it.

Kinda on the same subject, what is the widest tire you can run on these cars? Currently I have 18x8's with 225-40-18's. I would like to step up to a 235 or 245 for my next set of tires. Anybody running them?

I think that those sizes would be pushing it. You might have some rubbing issues unless you put some spacers in. Especially because you are lowered as well.
