Exclamation Wheels and Offset Newbie here, Help...

Hey guys, its about that time i start to look into wheels. i have my heart set on the SSR MS1's.



These wheels are exactly what ive wanted. I just don't know what offset or anything i should get in them. I want 18 inch. and definately wider in the back the up front. and the wheels to be pushed out more the the stockers, which seem sort of receded inside the wheel wells. Im looking for maybe 8.5 up front and 9.5 in the back or 10.n Also that there is a much bigger lip in the back compared to the front, you know that aggressive look. If these numbers don't work, just let me know what does work! thanks guys! Sorry for my lack of knowledge.

This question is better suited for the suspension/wheel/tire/brake forum, there is a LOT of information on this exact topic over there.

In fact the exact same question has been asked so many times jimlab put it upon himself to create a nice excel spread sheet outlining the minimum offsets/tire widths depending on the size of your rim... in the same thread there is a TON of other good info on the subject as well...

(fyi, it's the sticky at the very top of the suspension/wheels/tires/brake forum ).
