Default Ideal Wheels Dimensions?

Im working with about 1500$. I need some wheels for my SC. I want a nice 5 spoke wheel thats high quality .

What would be the best wheel dimensions ? I would like some 18" wheels, but I don't know what width / offset I need. I plan on being boosted in the future so I need to be able to put a wider tire on them if i have to. Any suggestions on wheels to check out would be appreciated!

Default ideal wheels

Not trying to be funny but the term ideal does not go with $1500. My suggestion would be to save more money. At least $2000-2500. A decent set of wheels that are high quality would be about $1500-1600. Then there are tires for $800.
If you just have to buy now you can get some ADR wheels for that price with Falken tires. I wouldn't do it but it's up to you. Some people are happy with their ADR's. Check them out.

check out suprastore.com has some nice CCW wheels for around 2000 but they arent 5 spoke.

As far as wheels offset and size goes.. i would probably recommend going with something like 18x8.5 in front and 18x10 in the rear.

Depending on what size wheels you get, i wouldn't go any lower than 36mm and any higher than 48mm.

If you have plans to do a big brake upgrade.. i would suggest staying around 36mm-38mm wheel offset.
