+40 offset ???? Buying rims today!!!!

What offset is recommended for lowering? will a +40 offset work on 225/40 18 and a progress drop?

40mm is ok. But get 235s...I made the mistake of getting 225/40 18s on my first set of aftermarket rims and dented them up 3 days later on just regular streets.
18x7 & 18X7.5 235s or 18X8 235s or 245s. They will fit with no problems.

Thanks For The Replies

I'm buying a set of chrome Limited Alloy Wheels model 704 for dirt cheap from a friend. They aren't exactly what I wanted, but they will save me alot of money and my car is an auto so they won't hurt my performance to much. My zex kit is going on as soon as my intake arrives.

Oh No not the ZEX kit. I am not a big fan of it due to the fact my buddy basically detonated his BMW using a ZEX kit and foloowing all the instructions. You should go with the NOS kit thas just my opinion
