Lower offset results in wider stance.

If you like 245 front and 255 rear tires the most narrow wheels you can choose are 8" front and 8.5" rear. With those wheel and tire widths you can search for wheels with front offset around 30 and rear around 35.

F: 8x18" ET30, 245/40-19 (1% shorter than OEM)
R: 8.5x18" ET35, 255/40-19 (OEM F30 tire size)

If you find wheels you like with higher offset you may fit them with use of spacers.
Great !! I can't go lower than 45 side because of our roads, so will i be able to fit wheel spacers with this setup or it will rub ?
