ordering wheels need help??????

Ok I am about to order works emotion wheels what off set will work best with 18"? The car is totally stock and i just want it nice looking with the wheels if I get tein 1.3" lowering springs in the front and 1.6 in the *** will that sit nice?
I don't want it slammed but I don't want a ton of wheel gap as well it's a daily driver so subtle is key and I want the smoothest ride possible.
I'm probably doing 225's all the way round so I can rotate them.

The car is charcoal gray and i'm getting the dark bronze color wheels.

thanks for the help,
warren

love the ideas. you will probably be disappointed with the wheel gap with those springs. Probably the 2 inch drop all the way around is more along the lines of what your looking for. and the offset go low like +23ish. you can google it or use the search bar on club lexus and see what you come up with

Which Emotions are you getting and what widths are you looking at? If running a 225 tire, most likely 8.5 width?

Yeah I'm going with 8.5. Yes the wheels will be 5 lug thanks for the heads up lol. I'm ordering the works Emotion CR-KAI in bronze. Ok so 2" is the magic number. I searched around and cant find exact off sets for these wheels i dont wanna get them and they rub or some other bull ****. I'm an old man so I'm looking for the best look/ride quality I can get.

Thanks again for the help,
Warren
