Default offset with coilovers

Hi,

I have an 03 STi with tein coil overs,I'm looking for some new wheels,hopefully 18's with a diffrent off-set to bring them further out of the wheel arches,but I'm wondering if I'm going to run into any problem with clearence? the car sit's a little low so I want to raise the ride height a little.

Also what off-set will I need? and whats stock?

Thanks,

8" rim will be around 45 mm...

7-1/2" rim is 53mm.

smaller off-set number the further the wheel will sit out? do you think I will have problems with clearence? I want to run as high sidewall tyre as I can,I hate driving on low profile tyres.

Thanks

Most do the opposite.... so little feedback, I'm on 35's and the ride isn't that bad, but the R888's grip makes up for that.

IMHO

P.S. bigger wheel plus higher sidewall = raised gearing...
