The Raijin and Gojin are two personal favorites from the tuning line, they are going to be a little heavier, but still plenty strong and less expensive. When you go to an 18" wheel, you're sacrificing some tire sidewall that may make it ride a bit more rough, but that's okay if you're expecting it.

I'm not into 18" wheels personally, but the offsets should still be accurate if you go with an 8" wide wheel which is generally my recommendation for these cars. Contrary to popular believe, it's very possible to put too much wheel/tire on these cars.
So getting 18" as opposed to 17" would only make bumps feel a little bumpier? It wouldn't affect the handling or performance?

As an example, the Oversteers come in 18x8 and 18x9 with either a 35 or 45 offset. The whole offset concept confuses me and so do spacers. How do you know what the offset affects and when you'll need spacers?

Thanks a ton for the help you've provided so far. Already getting questions answered I couldn't before.
