Hello everyone, I am looking to get a new set of wheels & tires (choices tbd later, right now I'm looking for measurements and sizing) for my boosted set up (going for ~300 whp & lowered 1")
My main use cases are:
Streets & AutoX
Requirements:
lighter wheels - function > form, though looking good is a definite plus.
Perfect Flush
Square Set up

My option:
Looking at 18x8.5 with 245/40, offset: +42 Front, +32 Rear, no Camber

Taken this from the Wheels Directory post Darren started but I am wondering if the offsets are a bit too much for the front?
Also I am wondering if that tire is too skinny for the power I am putting down. I don't want to kill gas mileage as well.

Any sort of suggestions?
