    the maximum offset you can go with is 45 and a maximum width of 8 inches.

    BS. I am running an 8.5" wheel and it fits, doesn't rub.

    there isn't a max offset max width. its a combination. of the two. For example, A 8.5" wheel with a +20 offset will rub on the fender, but a wheel with a +50 offset will rub on the suspension components, and then a wheel with a +38 might not rub at all.

    Sorry buddy. If you go with 18 or 19 I will recommend rolling the fenders. It depends the rim offset and tires settings you get. Don't go above 18.

    You can run 18x7.5 +40mm to +45mm offset with either 215/40R18s or 225/40R18s without issues.
