what do you think about 18x8.5 offset +30 (front) and 18x9.5 offset +25 (rear) now i have the stock wheels (Touring 18" v.2) with 20cm wheel spacers all 4 wheels .. i like the way it looks but i want to avoid the spacers.what do you think it will remain the look without the wheel spacers with those numbers (18x8.5 offset +30 (front) and 18x9.5 offset +25 (rear) or not ? (sorry about my bud English)

18 front and rear minimum front 9 max 9.5 , minimum rear 10 max 10.5 unless you want a 275 square setup then 9.5's are fine for the rear.

there is no best - there is a variety that will work, and work very well. Very interdependant on lots of other factors

You don't have to be such a jack@$$ you know? But your maturity level sure has shown through... so congrats on that!

I was merely giving my opinion. No, I don't track my car... nor do I think roadsters make good track cars, anyway. As for the street, it works great and have gotten nothing but compliments.
