Aggressive Offset 18" Wheels

[Rik84]

Ya'll.

So it's snowing like hell in Vancouver which is about as f'd up as it gets. I'm glad I have snow tires on the car (although the rears are 285's, so, uh, yah) this year.

But, this crap weather is making me yearn for the spring so I'm going to buy some new wheels for the spring and relegate my stock 19's to winter duty.

I'm looking to go an 18" wheel. I like the look of a meatier rubber profile and it will also hopefully help with some wheel hop issues. Doesn't hurt that R888's are cheaper in 18's either, I have a feeling I'm going to need a membership card at a tire store this year.

I'm looking to get some 305's shoved in the back and 265's up front. The car is on Swift Spec R springs.

Anyone have a quick reference on sizing guidelines for wheel width and offset to keep the profile as flush as possible but hopefully keep rubbing to minimum while letting me shove some decent size rubber back there?

Thanks...
