Help me decide my offset

So I’ve got some falcon 660’s waiting for me at the shop. Next move is I decide to do some advinti hybrid rims in blk. 18-8.
Felt like keeping stock rim size and tire.
So I was gonna go with the 45mm offset to bump them out just a bit but see they also offer 35mm which would set them out a bit farther.
right now I’m leaning towards 45 but would I gain anything going to 35mm.
I do track the car a few times a year but mostly street. Or is it just my preference for looks?
Or better yet what do you guys prefer I’m worried 35 will stick out to much and look gaudy

18x8 +35 will be inset more than 18x9.5 +45 that is common. With an 8" wheel you could even go to +25 and be OK
You might think about going to at least a 9" if you are going to run anything wider than a 225 tire...

Falken RT-660's?
I just mounted some. Keep in mind those tires are fatties. Definitely wider than the Vredestein and Toyo's I previously had in the same size. They're bigger at the shoulder so just be aware of that .

Thanks guys. I’m gonna look at the 35mm
might even look at some wider rims but the 8” are in stock and will be good replacements for my stock ones.

Yes falken 660’s hopi gets they have some decent traction. I run ps4’s on my focus and like them but hearing good things about the falkens.
