not flush but better fitting than stock. depends on your alignment settings and drop --also your definition of flush. aka i consider tiltmode's various setups to be 'flush'

with the standard 8 in wide 18"s, is using a 225/45 the best option? Does anyone use a 235 on that width (or even a 245)? is that bad for the tire sidewall or anything? does it look weird (pics?)

^Lots of people use 245/40 and they are happy with it.

what are good wheel + tires sizes that = flush without rubbing. i like to push my car often and i don't want to rub..my rear fenders are already rolled, do the front need to be rolled as well?

According to these guys...Flush + Not Rubbing = Not Flush. But you will be happy with an 18x9.5 +40.

Hopefully I'm not lumped in that term. Rubbing is not fun, how are you supposed to drive fast under those circumstances?

^Maybe you should read what the guy was asking for. He wants to be "flush" but doesnt want to do any more work as far as rolling or pulling fenders. And by what you guys say is "flush" and what isnt, if he gets a wheel that doesnt rub therefore its not going to be flush.

flush and 'no fender mods' don't belong in same sentence end of story.

now if he wants them to fit OK/conservative with no rubbing, that's a different story.

Ok, I'll just go off what JantzenRX8 has... 18x9 +29 with 245/40 I consider a very nice fitment. He has no rubbing on stock fenders but does have neg camber. So, hopefully that answers his question.

I believe he did have some slight rubbing and needed to roll the fenders. Either way, that fitment offers a relatively aggressive setup that requires very very minimal modification.

18x9.5 +30 w/ a 245/40 or 255/35 would be the next step and would sit even more flush and look even better.

Flush is a relative term and to be completely honest, the phrase itself has worn itself out for me. Flush this, flush that, flushing meadows? I will continue to love them low offset wheels though

yes those will fit. if you want 275/30/19 tires in the rear you may want to roll your fenders; but you might not have to depending on how low you are. the fronts will clear very easily and could use a 245/35/19 tire. You may even want a 15mm spacer for the front to fill it out more
