Help with Tire Sizes.... Searched!

Evening all,

I am new here and can say that I am looking forward to purchasing a new Galaxy Grey 8. I love the way the car looks, and love the rotary engine. I don't need major horsepower or anything, but love the feeling of a great handling car.

Here are the mods i plan to do:

-Mazdaspeed Body Kit (front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper, appearance package wing)
-Greddy Sp2 exhaust
-AFE Short shifter
-Tein H-tech springs
-Koni Yellow shocks
-Tanabe Front/ Rear sway bars

I've pretty much decided on these parts but do need help with one last aspect, and the area of the car where I get very confused-- tires sizes!

I really like the look of the OZ ultraleggera rims, in Matt Graphite Silver. The bright silver and black isn't for me. I've found the graphite silver ones online that are

18x8" 35mm offset. I am still looking for 18x8" 48mm offset but don't know if these exist. It is so frustrating using tire rack as you can't see the sizes of the wheels, only what ones they say fit on your selected car!

What tire size should I be getting so that I have no rubbing??? Would like to have the rims flush if possible.

Thanks in advance for the help!

the oz you want in silver is 18 x8 / 48offset. you might have to rethink color for fit.
