OK guys, I think I've got the rims picked out. I'm gonna be doing the 18x8.5 all around. Would it be smarter to do 245/40 or 235/40 for the tires? Also, are any of you familiar w/ Wanli tires? Are they any good? Price seems to be pretty nice? Thanks again gentleman.

Guillermo

P.S. I'll post pics once this bad boy is all done.

Better stick with 235/40/18. I got rubbing going from 18X8 et31 to 18X8 et35 using 245/40/18. That is just a 4mm inward change. Very little room inside.

Most 8.5" I've seen come with ET35 as standard and its OK but I prefer them to stick out more so I'm running ET30 with 19"x8.5" now up front....no rubbing except when turning and going over a bump, both at the same time. To be on the safe side and depending on how low you're going to go, ET30-33 would be best for looks and minimized (if not no) rubbing when lowered.
