Alright, so I'm looking at new wheels and I'm wondering if these will fit.

18x8.5"
offset 37

on a 2g lowered on sportlines and tokico hp struts. fenders rolled but they need to be done more. So will these fit and what tires should I get? What other mods might I have to do?
 
Depending on ride height and suspension stiffness, you would likely have to roll at least your rear fender lips. I'm running 18x8.5 +44 wrapped in 235/40 and on deep dips the rears rub (need to roll my fenders).

What size & offset are you running now?
 
I'm running 18x7.5" offset 42 with 225/40/18 tires and had to roll my fenders. My car is really low.

Your wheel face will stick out about 18mm more than what you are currently running. Keep in mind this is just the wheel face, depending on the tire you might need to add a bit more to that.

That should at least give you a rough idea of fitment and suspension/body clearance.
