I have a set of 18x8.5 Wheels with a 32-35mm Offset. My car is a 1g Lowered with Eibach... Its not Dropped that much and I still have a pretty big gap... Wondering What tire size should I go with that I won't have rubbing Issues 215/40-18, 225/40-18, or 235/40-18. And I would like it to flush with the fenders, not stick out

32mm offest is a little too much. Stay with a 37-42mm offset. You will have rubber sticking out of the fenders - and if lowered, you will have rubbing.

225/40-18s should be good for your purposes.
 
My autoX setup is 17x8 40mm offset, with 245/45 victoracers. I had to add a 5mm spacers to get clearance from the struts, I still rub a little bit at full turn on the inner fender well and sometimes on the fender lip.
 
Well its 35mm... But I already have the wheels... So its hard to pick a different offset... Do you think 35mm will be ok?

is a 8" w/35 offset diff from 8.5" w/35 offset? so this WILL fit by rolling the rear fenders?(on 1g)
