With that weak of an offset, you will need to consider your brakes too, if you have an aftermarket brake kit. The spoke pattern will also affect how much clearance you have.
I was sold on the Enkei's until I can across the Stern ST-1s...they look agressive as hell and are the first set of wheels that have really caught my interest.
Stock brakes, you still think there would be clearance issues?

Judging by the spoke pattern, they look like they'll clear even the 6th Gen brakes. Is there no better offset option? Well, if necessary, it isn't anything that some spacers can't fit.
They look kinda heavy though... a bit different from your previous thread on light 17s.

They are about 26lbs, IIRC. I like the Enkei's, but they are bit "vanilla" compared to these. For the sake of my wallet, though, I'm likley to just go with the RPF1s.

Metal, I wouldn't rush with your wheel selection. I think I said "these are my next wheels" half a dozen times within 8 months before I chose the Rays. I was actually considering the exact Sterns you mentioned until I realized how damn heavy they were for 18". I think we could better help you with your wheel choice if you state what you're looking for in a wheel(i.e. aesthetics, weight, strength). For an 8.5" tire, I'd go 245/40/18. Also, are you dropped? The sidewall on my Rays are pretty much flush and their 8.5" on a 245 series tire.
I believe an optimal set up would be an 18x8.5" ET38 or 35 w/ a 245/40/18 all-season.
That pic really makes me want my 96 max back. Good looking car man!
