Ideal wheel offset for 18's on 95 Accord?

My brother is looking to get some 18" wheels for his 95 Accord.

I want to make sure he doesn't make the same mistake as me and NOT get the best offset for his needs.
He wants to keep the wheels tucked when he gets the 18's.
What is also the ideal tire for this set-up?

225/40/18?
215/25/18?
225/35/18?

I ended up with a +42 offset on my Civic and can not slam it down as far as I would like to due to rubbing. ..But, my car is still pretty deep on the GC's

Thanks!

he could get any tire he wants, just make sure and measure for the width and offset of the rim. but personally id get 215/35or40. if you need wider tires because of the rim width, than its gonna be hard to tuck anyways. although im always concerned about wear. so the less positive offset you have, the easier itll be to tuck and decrease negative camber.

I was running 22/40/18 on 18x8 c-5's. I forgot the offset, but I could go all the way down wothout rubbing if I wanted to.
