18x7.5 +40..Man you don't know much about wheels do you.

Go check out the Will It Fit thread. To see what popular fitments are.

Most people want to go wider, not narrower.

Get a wheel that is at least 8.5" wide.

A attractive size would be a 18x9 +35 with some 255's. They will not require you to do any rolling of the fenders, but will still look good and give your car a much more aggressive look.

Do some research, before you post another thread next time.

And I recommended you not to go with 7.5" wide wheels. If you don't want our advice, then dont make a useless thread. Yes 225 will fit on a 7.5 inch wheel. Should you get a 7.5" wheel. No.

What's important about the rims is their weight, it really affects handling.
Which one to buy is up to you then, our rims are 18x8 and the stock rubber\rim size is ok considering our power output. There's no need to change it.
As usual there's who wants to look aggressive with a show car and who cares more about the handling. 7.5J is a bit too narrow for the tyres we have so follow your stock rim's dimensions
