I also PM'd you about this.
If you want more lip, you can probably go for the +30 8.5 all around with no issues. The +30 offset has a 88mm vs. the 75mm on +34 (rim depth on the Rays sizing chart).

Hey guys... as you know I have already ordered my Volk GTS Wheels in Titanium Gunmetal, with the high type center caps. I am contemplating a change of center caps. Please give me your opinion as to which you think would look better. The GT Version 2 caps are $25 more than the high type GT Center caps. Here are some pics:
The first pic is the center caps I am already getting, and the second one is the ones I was thinking about changing to.

NICE! SHINKS! VERY NICE!!!!!!! 
One day, I'll get up your way and get a looksee at your baby in person.
Ok.....Shink's and I have talked and she's about got me convinced to go with Gold on my Copper red. Either the GTS or the SF Challenges.....Just need some help with as close to a good stock offset as I can get and the right size. I know nothing about how to balance the two. Only blemish is I have to put them on stock tires........for now....
I dont want rubbing issues....I have passengers from time to time and I run the heck out of my car in the twisties, with some places comparable to the twisties of the Dragon.
Thoughts, opinions......please...thanks

Size are stock 225x45x18....I can buy the wheels and wait till I burn these off.......I'm just trying to figure out the right wheel size and offset that will keep me closest to stock size.
If I had 18x8.5..what would be a good offset
19x8.5 same thing.
no staggered fitment. Still want to rotate.
No suspension mods, as of yet. Have thought about raising just the rear but was told by a crew chief at Roar Racing that I needed to do both and adjust the rear height for the look I want to safeguard the suspension. The Shinka suspension is awesome as it stands....so I'm not wanting to mess with perfection too much.
