Default rota d2s

i just have a stock ap1 with an exhaust on it. I am planning to lower it only about 1 inch or so. but i am getting wheels before that. I want the d2s , this is my daily driver so i wanted it to look nicer. what are the sizes? is it 18x8 n 18x9? what offsets should i get? also tire sizes? im not good with any of that! thanks for your help!
ps what lowering springs should i get? something cheap that just lowers it a bit!

35 and 40 are sidewall heights, in a % of the width, width being the 255 part.

SENSPRS2K has a brand new - never mounted - set of Royal Black D2s for just $650. Hit him up.

Yes they will work. But SENSORS2K has the very same set (18x8x48, front; 18x9x50, rear) but for a lot less money. Not only that, but Racing Lab's "back-order time" is approximately six weeks.
