Im currently lowered on S-techs, looking for a flush appearance, no stretch BS or crazy camber.

17x9.75 5-114.3 [+25mm] with (??? unsure on tire size, something meaty)
or
18x8.75 5-114.3 [+33mm] with a 245/40/18?

Fender rolling I am ok with, shaving bumper tabs, stretching fenders etc I dont want to deal with. Prefer the look of a meatier tire, hence the 17" wheel option. Thoughts?

Stock suspension;
18 X 8.5 +45
The +45 worries me the most when searching this thread. dash my dreams or make me want them even more.

Weak setup and it won't look good IMO, but they should fit without issue.

A +32 or +35 would look a lot better with that width

Is there an article or thread where I can learn about how to figure out offsets. I would like a dished look and to be as flush as possible without fender rolling etc. I understand the tire sizes, but am not sure about the offsets on the rims. I have no issue reading up about it, but havent really been able to find a good informational anything about it.

I don't think either will look great with S techs. Decent, but not great.

I ran a 18x9.5 +22 on mine and it was ok ... I have Powertrix coilovers ... Good chance they will fit but not sure how they would look .. The 9.5 +15 on stock suspension is going to look a little weird lots of poke. Here is a photo of mine on 18x9.5 +22, 225/45 tire, Stock suspension

The other 50mm of tire wouldn't be a big deal

Not to mention that picture shows fitment is absolute ****. Great job
