For some reason I remember FormulaRedline tracks his car with all four treads having equal widths. And we all know he does well on the track with his S! Aside from the non-OEM fitment, you should be fine.

Yes, 7.5 is standard offset. You will be safe.
Personally, I think 7.5" on an 18" rim will look tall and narrow. I'm running 8" in the front and 9" in the rear... What size tire are you planning to get? If you get too narrow of a rim, you'll have problems finding a tire that will fit properly.
BTW, you don't have to spend 3 grand on wheels to get the proper size but you do have to 'pay to play' or you'll have problems taking short cuts. Don't cheap out!
