Can anyone confirm if 18x7.5 wheel with a +45 offset will fit front and rear on an 88 GT? If so what would be a good tire size? 215 40 18 ?

You should be ok on the rear. You can go up on section width on the tire on the rear with no issues.
There is room for a lot of tire on the rear of an 88.

Ok I'm looking at 245/40/18 for the rear and 215/4018 for the front sound about right? Or would 225/40/18 work better on the front? For wheel size I'm looking at 18 with either a +40 or +45 offset. I don't want the tires sticking out from the fenders. So would the +45 tuck them in more?

I run 17x8s with a 35 offset on the rear of my 88. (235/45)
17x7 with 48 offset on the front. (215/45)

The rears tend to stick out, jsut a smidge, but I like it that way.


Here's a sort-of closeup of the rear.

The rears stick out a bit on the 88 with the stock lace wheels.

To the OP, why not go up to a 45 aspect ratio? They will look better, ride a bit better and fill the wheel wells better.
