I need tire size recommendations..

Hey guys I have Work Emotions CR-Kai's in 18x8.5+42 and the front are 18x7.5+48and their pretty high offset. Don't ask haha! I got these rims for dirt cheap. I plan to get spacers, what size spacers do you guys recommend? And what size tires? I'm aiming for a flush look but not aggressive to where I can't even drive my car around anymore. I've been doing research but I have been hearing mixed reviews. Right now I believe I have 225/45/18's? For some odd reason, my rims look so small for my car. My stock 17's looked bigger!

I need your help guys!

if you have a lip on the rims, they will look smaller than the 17's

do you have a coupe or sedan?

either way my friend, you have pretty small wheels.

even my 25mm spacer on my stock 18's with +30 offset isn't quite flush. your wheels will have problems being flush imo.

If the spacer is installed correctly with correct hub centric sizing and extended lugs, you should have no issues.
