It's your car, so only you have to be happy with it.

Issue I have is that I really like Enkei rs05rr wheels and got them in 18x9.5 about 2 years ago. Now I'm not sure if 18x8.5 would work with the brakes, so need to dig up dimensions and find out.

In the end I guess I'll end up with two sets of wheels, which is also sort of expensive. Price of doing a lot of research and asking vendors, but still not really knowing what I was doing when buying the first set. I also learned that when you're looking at pictures in a gallery of wheel sizes, if the front wheels are slightly turned in every picture, it's because there's poke. The person is just hiding it while saying they're "perfectly flush".
