I am getting a lot of mixed responses when it comes to a question I have and was wondering if you guys could help out.

I have some RCE tarmac 2 going on once the weather gets nice and will be doing some occasional autocross and possibly track days. The car is more of a weekend driver.

I am looking for a decent lightweight rim for autocross and track days/occasional weekend driving. The RpF1's are great rims but I am leaning toward the TsW nurburgrings (simply aesthetics in this case) in a 18x8 w/ 35mm offset(18.6lbs).Would the 10mm difference in offset be detrimental in comparison to the 45mm. Also the 1 inch increase from 17 as well.

I am also looking for tire suggestions as well if you have any. Probably looking to get some Michelin pilot super sports in 225/40/18. (Another mixed area as some people say drop in the widest tire possible and others disagree.)

I appreciate your time and insight. Thanks in advance.
