ohh ok fair enough, i still dont see how the offset would affect how close the tyre comes to the guard ?
Again, this won't happen with your wheels.

Basically offset is how far away from the area of the rim that bolts to the hub is to the centre of the rim.

My KU36's also got very noisy on the Gen2. I wouldnt recommend them for daily duties as the noise just became a pain the arse.
Ive got Zeetum Sport on at the moment. Made by Kuhmo and are a copy of the KU31 pattern. I rate them very highly all round.
If you go a 225/40/18, your speedo will be out by 4.2% and increase the diameter by 25.8mm over the factory spec wheels/tyres which is illegal. Thats why I suggested the 225/35/18's as your speedo is only out by 0.5% and diameter only increases 3.3mm.
NSW rules are the same as Vic, +15mm / -15mm over stock.
Just letting you know.
Factory size is 195/55 16 for gen3 so 225/40 18 is just about spot on...
I ran this with 18x7.5 +45 with king springs and I had to roll my guards
