Ok I read the sticky but still am a little confused.

What size tire would I need for an 18 Inch Rim

Also

What offset do I need? I dont wanna rub or roll my fenders.

Thanks

Well, a lot depends on the width of wheel you choose. But if you don't want to roll the fenders, then a very safe choice would be an 18x7.5 with an offset of +48 or higher and a tire size of 215/45R18. That tire size is not that common, so your choices are limited. You can also use 225/40R18, but it's a tad smaller than the original equipment size and your speedo will read about 1-2 mph fast at 70 mph.
