Default Wheel fitment, ordering new wheels today!

I am ordering my new rims today, but I am l stuck between sizes. Should I go with the 18x8.5,or the 17x8? My other question is can I fit 8.5 wide rims? Will I need to put in spacers? The offset is 35mm

19s ftw If you're set on one of those two get the 18s. That offset and width will fit without spacers.
