+48 is too much

Lowering the car will help reduce the wheel gap.

You wont have any weird tire wear just from swapping wheels/tires.
Would 45 offset be ok? Or would that sit too far in and rub? Both wheels are offered in 45 offset.


What would an appropriate tire size be for either of the wheels I'm looking at?
I'm looking at the Michelin pilot super sports in 18.

Would 235x35 or 245x35 be ok compared to the 235x40 / 245x40 you wouldn't recommend due to gearing reasons?
