new wheels, offest with evo brakes

so I'm going to be installing evo brembos on my car and getting new rims. I'm looking at 18"x7.5" rims right now. I need to know what offset I should get. I'll be running sportlines and toicko hp, if that matters. also what tire size should I get? thanks!

I think you will be running a pretty low offset for a 7.5'' wheel to clear the calipers. Typically for a 2g, the ideal offset would be +42mm, and a 225/40/18 tire, but I don't think that offset will clear those brakes.

You may want to go look at the Evo forums to see what people are typically running. Good luck
