Just get the highest offset you can. On the front around 50 to 55 and the rear 55 to 72 depending on the width of the wheels and how wide a tire you want to go with.

I have a set of SP1 3pc's arriving on Friday. They are 18x8 +56 front,
18x10 +68 Rear. Like Jim said, the highest offset you can find will be the best, your a little more limited on the cast or forged monoblock wheels than you are on a 3 piece wheel.

I say get the lowest possile without having to do major mods to the body.

If you get a high offset, the wheel will be sitting in the fender and doesn't look good IMO.

That 18x10 et68 seems ok though.

I have 18x.9.5 et55 LM's in the rear and wouldn't mind them being a little more flush.

On the other hand, the works I have, 17x9 et44 in the rear and they're flush.

The general concensus is that 17 inch Meister look to small. with 10 inch rears it all depends on what tire you use. Riley at Rijo Engineering told me he could get 11 inch rear in safe fitment. Check with him, he can help you with anything you need.
