225/60/16 tires on a 16x7j rim, will it fit ok? Options

[Goonter]

ok this used to be my old thread for my rims questions thats why theres replies and what not already.. i just edited it so that i wouldnt have to post a new thread and get flame for it. anyway i saw rims that are 18x7.5 with a 48 mm offset. now how sunk in are we talking about here?.. 48 seems so HUGE. opinions?

ok so as stated in the title.. will it fit the rim? would it have trouble holding air if it did fit?. will i have enough room in my wheel well and strut housing clearance? last but not least. will it look like A$$~?

k so i was reading your guide harold. to my understanding, i should only need to roll my rear fenders yes?. and for the rear wheels flush fitment recommends -8 offset?. holy balls i would have to use 40mm spacers/adapters? wouldn't there be safety issues here?.. or something like "something ****ing up in the wheel structure faster" (bearings)?

"Adapters/Spacers

Spacers are made from 1mm all the way up to "how fast you want to destroy your bearings". By this I mean I have seen 8in spacers, which is a joke but was a cheap way to wide body a narrow horrid offset wheel."

so if im getting this right...

Front spacers : 25mm with bolt on studs
Rear : a whopping 40mm spacers with bolt on studs?

also i didnt get what the "stretched tire" meant. as far as lowering goes my plan is 1.5 front and 1 inch rear. which Tein Stech gives

PS!: im so sorry if im annoying as sh!t asking so much questions. i'm just a lowly noob wanting my 6gc to look at least half descent
