Which wheels?

My plan is to get rid of the gap in between the fender and the tire. With the use of lowering springs or coilovers ofcourse.

I want to get 18x8 or 17x8 wheels w/ tire combo but I don't know the offset and which tire size should I get. I want the rims to look like it's even with the fenders where you can see the lip almost sticking out of the car. Can you guys help me on this?
I own a MS3.

Thanks!
 
Im not sure how much wider they went with the fenders on the ms3, but with 7.5" wide wheels, and 225 45 17 tires, my tires are lined up almost totally straight with the fender. The offset is 45.

Get a couple 5mm offset spacers, and see how far you need to push the wheels out to the look you are going for.
 
yeah im running a 42offset and they are about as close as i would go to the front fenders and i am lowered on eibach pro's. (no rubbing btw)

Got any pics? I would like to see it. I'm pretty sure the eibach springs for ur car would fit on mine but do you think this is an upgrade or down grade since I have a mazdaspeed coil springs? Let me know. I want to lower my car too but do not know if they even make one for my car yet.

Thanks!
