Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but at 18x8 stock height, offset doesn't really matter much. Stock height you can put on a ton of wheels without worrying about anything.

I believe 18x8 +50 would fit with little room to spare between the rim and suspension up front

+50 might rub depending on the wheel. I think the safest offset you can go with is +40

Here's my old setup with 18x8+38 with n5000 225/40 as a reference(think I had a 12mm spacer in the rear),

Stock wheels are 17x7+50. I don't see why you'd want the same size unless you need new wheels.

From what I've seen, they are available in 18x8 +35. As long as your car is at stock height, it should be fine. Of course, the right dip / bump / pot hole could introduce your tire to the fender while turning.

Have you checked the for sale section. You could probably get a set of OEM wheels for less, and they would probably be easier to sell later too.
