Default Winter tire setup...7.5" with 48 offset square?

New isf owner getting ready for winter. I've come across some rims that are 18x7.5 with 48 offset. Was thinking of putting 225/45/18s on them. I think 225s will still fit ok on a 7.5 rim, and excuse my noob comment here but 48 offset is actually spaced out further than the stock 45? So am I ok with this setup?

Thanks

those sizes should work. 225s on a 7.5 rim will be fine. +48 will be more "sunk in" than +45.
