Tires would be 215; 225; 235/40's for front and 235; 245; 255/40's for the rear. Depending on the drop, will determine your tire width.
What suspension on you gonna run and how low is the drop?

im running nex full coilovers pretty dumped on the stock 17s, tuckin hella tire. Im trying to go PRETTY low. as low as i can with minimal tire ware
im thinking
18x8 in front +35 front
18x9 +45 rear, does that sound right?
im gettin the rotas for now cuz im on a real budget, i got a 3 month old son and most my money goes to him, so the WORKS or SSR have to wait, but i still want something clean.

in the front, you will have to run 215/40's. Any wider, you will rub.
in the rear, can you get a lower offset?
if not, stick with 235/40's.
Another option would be to go with 225/35 and 245/35. But might or might not have rubbing issues

what offset do you suggest in the rear? like +40 or lower?
i really wish i knew what they would look like before i decide to buy them.. anyone with the same size wheels and offsets? or post pics of what offset you guys are running so i can compare and decide what i wanna go with.

Your better off. Getting spacers for now.. Then when you have the money get the rims. Follow this motto:
"better to do it right the first time. If not. Then not at all"
It will be more of a costly feature to purchase something you plan on replacing. So just wait it out it will be worth it in the long run. Dont let money burn a hole to look half way good. Wait to be the man..

I know 18x9 +18 will stick out 1 inch. so i would say an 18x8 +18 would stick out ? 1/2 an inch.. you best bet would be to test fit the rim. if the lip is even with the fender your great. the stretch and camber takes care of the rest.
and if your going to stretch tires go with a higher profile then 35. i say 40 in the front.
And its always a great to roll the rear fenders.. it doesnt hurt anything and its for a cleaner ride. as you will never have to worry about the extra rub.
A +23 in the rear? I couldnt give you a full answer on that as i never really test fit anything prior to pulling my fenders.
