I run a 18x8.5 in front and 18x10 in back. I don't know the offset, I tried to look the last time I changed my wheels. Also running 235 in front and 265 in back, but they bubble in. Next set of tires will be 245 and 285, which will fit perfect.

I just calculated tire size on 1010tire.com. It is a cool visual site to compare tire size. If you compare the stock tire 225/50/16, the widest tire and size that you can fit on your car and that won't screw your oddometer is 245/35/18 in front and 285/30/18 in back
