In the wheel/tire/suspension section theres an FC wheel fitment thread. I'd get you the link but I'm too lazy...

1) Offset is dependent on rim width, so we can't answer your question without the rim width.

2) Technically, larger diameter rims does not fill up the wheel well.
You should always try to shoot for the same overall "wheel diameter" - "wheel" = tire + rim.
If you change the wheel diameter, you take a chance of screwing up the handling and guarantee to throw your speedo off.
