Default Bugeye wheel questions

I have a bugeye wrx in mica red and I'm looking to get some new wheels for it but have some questions.

1. If I buy 18" wheels what tyre size do I need (I don't want any scrubbing)?
2. What is the offset range I need? (I may add brembos at a later date)
3. I don't know which colour suits the car better, white or bronze? Currently thinking about Rota grid or oz superleggera

Thanks in advance

If you fit 18`s you would need 225/40/18 tyres, Offset depends on the wheel/spoke design to a degree an ET48 will clear 4 pots and ET53 will clear brembos, these are the off sets on subaru wheels, Ie, sti & wrx oem and Pff7 wheels
