ZE40s would be sick!
Just had a look and it looks like they make good offsets for the rear .
18x9.5 / 5x120 / Offset +50 (same as mine)

Not as good for the front.
18x8.5 / 5x120 / Offset +30 (will poke 5mm further than mine)
or
18x8.5 / 5x120 / Offset +50 with spacers.

Have only put a couple of hundred KMs on them but can definitely tell the sidewalls are much softer than the AD08s.
Ride quality is better but car feels a bit looser.
I was out logging and hit some undulations in the road at a fairly high speed, before it would just absorb them, this time the car bounced and shifted over half a lane which was a bit disconcerting.
Will stiffen up the coilovers a few clicks and see if that compensates.
Haven't pushed them hard enough to really compare grip levels.

Also got a very slight rub on one of the fronts, looks like I need to shave down the bumper tab a touch.

Also they are fine at slower speeds, but they are loud on the freeway.

Looks great!!!!!

Made some small changes that improve the look in my opinion.
Removed the centre caps, cleaned up and painted the rusty hub bores and added black Volk/Rays stickers.

much better

The R888 is quite a lot of tire. Did you need to roll the rear fenders?

They are chunky!
Yes guards are rolled front and rear.
Camber is around 2.5 front, 1.5 rear.

When for a run through the hills and only got a tiny bit of rub on fairly fast bumpy roads. Not enough to damage the tyres.
