Well that kind of depends on what width you plan on running then doesn't it?

Work recommends 18x8 +56 45mm lip front and 18x9 +68 45mm lip

How aggressive do you plan on going? I just looked and there are to many choices available that will fit.

If you want that go with the 18x9.5 +49 71mm lip. You'll need to roll your fender and never drive over a pot hole or speed bump. What did you plan on doing in the front? 18x9? or something safer?

ive noticed how torn people are over offsets.love/hate.THE "HELLAFLUSH" look.personally i love big aggressive wheels with streached tires.i do believe this is ok if you dont need to drive the car everyday!!(if i needed to i would never run low offsets,i really think you loose functionality,practicality ect.)i do not think it is ok at a track either.theres also the evil money downward spiral that comes with this. im sure this is how it goes for many people.i wanted big brakes.i got them.now theres a wheel issue.i got wheels.(work ss-vs 18x8.5+32/18x9.5+39) ok now i need "HELLA" fender work,or "HELLA"expensive fenders.i believe that buying wheels with the purpose of having that "look" requires you to look at many ups and downs.lots of research,and most importantly do you need to rely on this car everyday?can you plan your routs?ect.
