Default motegi touge wheels?

I'm thinking of running motegi touge wheels in 18". They offer 18x7.5 18x9 and 18x10. I guess I should do 18x7.5 and 18x10 with a 245/40 and 285/35? What offset do I need? If i can do 18x9 and 18x10 what tires and offset do I need? I also plan on lowering the car in the near future, should I go with a little smaller tire? Thanks for any help in advance

Got the 18X9F 25mm offset Falcon 452's 245's and 18X10R 30mm offset Falcon 451's 285's. Im lowered about .75in and the only issues with rubbing I had was with body roll before suspention mods (Cusco A-arms, Tein Flex coil over, Hotchkis adjustable sways, Full GT spec Chassis bracing). It would only rub during real heavy turns at high speeds (35mph offramp loop taken at 65mph). Alignment is -1 front -1.8 rear. AVIC D1 acceleramoter measured over 1.2 G's.

Since suspention mods 0 rubbing issues.

Id rather spend that extra money on making more power. If you have enough power the extra 5lb wont meen squat. So if your pushing 650hp, and free up 20lbs of rotating mass it will feal like 656ish HP.

Ooooohhh Aahhhhhh.

If Im that hard up for performance I need to have big name sponsors on the car.
