Welcome.

Heh, I think my 18 inch tires look a bit skinny on the car.

Pics of the wheels you're considering? Welcome BTW. Of course, there is a requirement that new members post pics of their ride as well...

I have not decided on any one rim as yet but I do know that it has to be deep dish, I want the deepest dish allowable on both front and rear without cutting fenders and all that stuff...a little drop in the suspension is in the making too, the deal is I still want to keep it as a family car so it cant be too low, and it cant have no big gap in the wheellwell area either....that I hate to see when cars have nice wheels but the big space between tire and fender, just want it to be a nice family ride for the wife and kids, which sits nice on some sweet rims, without going broke...someone told me coilovers will do the job and that they are adjustable to my desire....any pointers out there...thanks guys

Offset/ size also depends greatly on how low you are planning to drop it. As neg camber creeps in and allows more guard room.

See here for some of my thoughts..

depends a lot on what size tire you run as well. if you want maximum offset (bigger lip) then you have to go with very thin small tires.
