I have a touring model Z (stock brakes) and I'm looking to get G-Games wheels... (18s) 8.5 front, 9.5 rear (widths).
They come in +20/+32/+40 offsets. Which is the best that would work for me?

why 18's in front and 19's in the rear?
also...with the offset....depends on how much lip you want....and have you lowered your car at all??

No.. my car is not lowered.. if it will be.. it will be around an inch. Does that affect things much?

well...with 19's...you won't be able to lower it as much because you will get rubbing (also, if you have wide rims...like 10 or more inches you might get rubbing).
18's....if you lower it an inch...you'll have no problem.
my car is lowered almost 2 inches (well, it's supposed to be...i'm not sure it's that low...maybe 1.5). i don't have rims yet (i was supposed to get them...but a big ol' diamond got in the way...haha)...but, when i do, they'll be 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 and i'll have no rubbing issues.
if you only lower it an inch...you might not have any camber issues. it's different for everyone. i lowered my car a lot...and i dind't have any camber issues. i got it alligned about a month after i lowered it (to let them settle)...but, i think it settled more. i might have some camber issues right now...but, i'll get it alligned after the winter and check. if there are camber issues...you'll get uneven wearing of the tires and the tires will look angled like this (this would be a front view of the tires) - / \ (hopefully you will understand that). camber arms can fix that....but, at this point, they are expensive....hopefully they will drop in price!
i'm not 100% on the offset on 18's....i'll look around (they also have a good chart on the volk website that offers some advice....but, you know advice from people that have done it is far better).
don't worry about rubbing (well, stick with 275's on the rear and 255's on the front and you'll be fine...from what i know you will at least). but...i'll look into the differences in offsets.
hope that helped (at least a bit....haha).

Thanks djkern.. all that does help.
Now.. as for positive offsets.. the smaller the offset number, the more 'deep dish' look you'll have right?
