I'm not happy with my current setup, so i'm looking to change it up. The wheels fit fine on the car, but are a bit boring. Looking to go bigger, wider and possibly stretched tire.

I currently have:
Work VS-XX F17x8+35 - R17X9+35 (F has a 3mm spacer to clear brakes)
Falken RT-615 F225/45/17 - R245/45/17

At first i was thinking about just buying barrels in a different offset and different size tires, but I definitely think going 18's is what i want.
I'm thinking my next set of wheels will be F9in and R10in. I'm just not sure what offset to go with.
I don't mind a roll, and slight pull, but i don't want to have to go with wide/over fenders.
Whats the lowest offset i can go? Any help would be GREAT!

Oh BTW, i wrote down two different sets of sizes that i found. Both cars had stock fenders, with a slight roll/pull.
Accept they were 17in wheels, but going with 18's shouldn't change what offset i go with, correct?

F17x9 +22
R17X10 +12

F17x9 +18
R17x10 +20

Let me know what you guys think of those sizes.

i was juuuust in the same boat.
on my s14 zenki i went from stock 16's to 17x8/9 and immediately wanted 18x9/10s.
no the height of the wheel wont change offset, so go 18! & both those offset options look good

RIMTUCK.com (http://www.rimtuck.com) seems like its going to be very helpful. When i have time this week i'm going through all of the S13's and rounding out what offset to get. I will post back with my findings.
