18 x 8 OZ Ultralegerra offset

hey guys...noob question...tried searching for this particular size before posting...

little guy is due to arrive in a few weeks, trying to figure out what offset to go with the above configuration or should i go 7.5 to play it safe? i dont want the wheels to stick out past the fenders, possibly may lower the car at a later time and will most likely add a BBK...if i go with 18 x 8, tire size would be 225/40/18...

Feedback is much appreciated, pics are even better

For 18" O.Z. Ultraleggera I only see 18x7 +42 offset and in Black painted finish, otherwise you are limited to 17x7" +37 offset

215/35-18
or
215/40-18
are better sizes

225/40-18 is too tall at 25.1" tire diameter and won't fit if you lower your car even a little.

18x7 with +42 offset should work ok with 215/40-18 tires.

Minihune is correct. The only 18" Ultraleggera that currently comes in in 4x100 is in fact the 18x7.
