Default 18s on classic. what width and offset?

I am planning on buying a set of 18s for my 95 impreza but would like it if they didnt rub as the car will be lowered shortly afterwards.

What width / offset should I be looking for?

Cheers!

I run 215/35/18 tyres and the offset of the rim is 53. No scraping at all.

i jus got a set of oz superleggras 18's not sure on the width think there 215. they scrub when i corner really fast with people in the back, but im on coilovers and the back tyre is almost touching the arch cos its low.
i thought 18s with 215 width wouldnt scrub at all before i got them

Most people run 215/35/18 on classic's, but the correct size (fitted to P1's with optional 18's) is 225/35/18, but this is a less common size so therfeore a little more expensive

I'd stick with 17's bud.

From past experiences classic's handle much better on 17's - IMO.
