wheel/Tire size ?

[bigDogs02GT]

This is probably one of the most asked ?'s but before I spend the $$$ just want to get some opinions. For an 02 what size wheels and tires would you go with. I havent lowered yet but plan to in the summer. I was thinking of 18 x 9's all the way around and some 275 35's rear and 40's in the front. Will these rub when the car is lowered?

Since this is new to me and if I order from Discount Tire do I tell them that I need a 26mm offset for the fronts. Is this required?

You don't need a 26mm offset, but that is on my car and it doesn't rub at all. 24mm would probably be fine too (many other 18x9's use that offset), but I only know what i have. here are my rims. I got them for 415 bucks off ebay from www.afswheels.com (brand new wheels).

Let me know any questions you have regarding sizes or anything else.
