normal and practical...
well...

practical - 18x8.5 all around with 245/40-18 tire size and +35 or so offset... these could be rotated, and no worries about fender interference...

better - 18x9.5 or 18x10 rear and 18x8 or 18x8.5 front, (275/35-18 rear, 245/40-18 front) all with +40 or so offset... these couldn't be rotated, but would give a much better stance, and with that offset, not require fender mods or more than normal negative camber to clear...

best - same sizes as above, but +30 offset - these will require rolling of the fender or more than normal negative camber, but look better...
