if you're going with a 225/40 18 tire, i'd say go 8" wide, it's a better fit IMO.
for 8" wide, it seems your offset choices are 35 or 45. If you care about the Look, +35 will Sit better. but your steering geometry will stay truer with the +45.
The +45 will poke ~15mm more than stock, the +35 ~25 mm more than stock. If you're not planning on lowering at all the +35 might look strange.
With a large drop (1.5"+) the +45's even with their 15mm of "poke" may still end up looking very tucked.
but i mean, if all you care about is the drive, the +45 is a better fit. provided it clears the inner suspension. you'll have ~10mm less inner clearance..you're likely fine. a +35 has the same inner clearance as stock.

Great info again, thanks. Don't have my heart set on Enkei but they seem to have a good reputation for the price. I really fell in love with the look of some BBS rims, until I saw the price. For now, I'll probably want something closer to the Enkei price. Are there other brands in this price range you'd recommend?
Bit of a newb, but I think I follow what you're saying. I do want to maintain steering geometry, but I probably will do lowering springs at some point. When you say the +35 "pokes" more than +45, do you mean they will stick out closer to the fender? And what exactly does "tucked" mean? You mean like hugging against the fender? Sorry for the dumb questions, and thanks for the help.
It sounds like +45 would work better for me, since I don't care too much about the wheels hugging SUPER close to the fenders...of course I don't want the wheels super pushed in either. So +45 sounds good, assuming it clears the suspension.
