So if lets say I wanna run 18" rims and 245/40(35?) tires, what width rim should I go is 9 to 10ish the standard?

Also Is it better to get rims with positive offsets and then use spacers, or just try to find a rim with the 0/neg offset I want, going for more of a flush look. If i go with just a 0 or lower offset well fitment within slightly rolled fenders be an issue, can run camber as I need to, but would like to keep camber at ~ -2.5*

EDIT: I think I answered my question with more research... so am I correct in saying that in order to clear (30mm rotors z32 lets say) I need to run a more positive offset wheel and then use a spacer correct? Because if I just used a negative offset wheel it wouldn't clear the caliper right?
First off, on what chassis? S14s has a butt load more room under the wheel well than S13s.

First off, offset has absolutely NOTHING to do with brake clearance. Wheel face design is what makes the difference and most big name wheel companies (SSR, Work, etc) has different faces, for the same wheels, to clear certain brakes.

Spacers wise, if you have to use spacers, you're doing it wrong. The goal is to get the right wheels you want, to fit, without spacers. If you get the right rim faced wheels, with the correct width and offset, you shouldnt have to use spacers.

As far as camber for wheel fitment, people use it to clear fenders with less fender pulling.

If you got any specific question, just shoot me a PM...
