18" wheel fitment question

Does anyone have any idea on the sizing and offset needed to get a decent fitment setup? I'm looking to stay with 18" wheels.

Any pictures would be appreciated!

Are you for sure wanting to stay with 18"s?
Your really limited to stock tires since changing tire height is a no-no (unless you can tune it out.)

I bit the bullet and went with sixth gen 20"s. Do not regret it either.

You should be OK as long as you don't go from your car's original 'square' setup to a setup with visible stagger.

How are you defining "decent", what about that are you thinking needs a change from stock?

Yeah I prefer the 18" wheels. I'm conscious about the unsprung mass/moment addition

I want a flush fitment so I want the lip to be flush with the fender. And yeah I know the sensors are really weird regarding that.
