Questions about wheel fitment

Currently running XXR527 18x8.75 +35 all around on 245/40/18 tires lowered 1" on springs.

I'm trying to get a set of Rota MXRs but don't know what size would be good since im such a beginner when it comes to wheels and tires. I would like to have a square setup but don't know if that'll work considering that I'm gonna get coilovers to lower another .5"-1". I also want to run tires with a thinner wall and have minimal stretch. Any advice as to what size wheels and tires would work? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!

Something similar to this but preferably a square setup. The specs are 18x8.5 +44 front and 18x9.5 +38 rear and the tires are 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear

When I was lowered on 1" eibachs, my setup was 18x9.5 +38 squared with 245/35/18 tires. No rubbing and no spacers; it was a borderline fit.

Once you go into the world of coilovers, you'll love the extra room for meatier setups, height adjustment, ride comfort adjustment, etc...

so anything smaller than that size wouldnt have any issues on 1" springs, but leave it to the other members for feedback. IMO 38 offset is perfectly flushed and aggressive.

have fun modding!
