IMO a 40 ratio tyre is not too skinny or chunky on the 18 inch rim. I run a 215/40/18 tyre with a low ish car and its scrub heaven though. Mind you I have different offset and width to you wheel. The dc5 is also easier to fit wider wheels since they have more room to play around with.

1 - How different will a +44 off set be to stock visually?
2 - Is the image below pretty much how my wheels will sit?
I don't want the rubber too thin (eg; looks like the rim is nearly hitting the road) but then I don't want it chunky/thick either - sleek & sporty I guess, sorry guys still learning - so far just going by what looks and sounds good

225/40/18 can be pulled off IF your car is black, or u are pretty low! YOu need the lows/black car to hide the wheel gap. Here is a great example of what I am talking about. Car was recently jacked up so slightly sitting higher above its normal height but this is goodto illustrate the ugly wheel gap on cars which are not black.
specs 18x9.5 wheel with 225/40/18 tyre:
Since u havea awhite car, I would go for a 235/40/18 tyre! why are you going 18inch. I would only go 18inch if you have an aftermarket body/lip kit........ stick to 17inch!

but like u said the dc5 is alot eaiser to run more aggresive specs. FYI Victor here is running 18x9.5+22 on an ep3 hence he scrubs all day evv day!
