Thanks Marcus! Good idea! Took me a minute to find this here haha.
But I was looking at my wheels and everything now, I see why the offset in the back is more than the front. Kinda stinks only because I am really wanting a concave look to it.

Good luck finding the right set.

9.5" wide ET45 will give you a pretty good concave look.

Curious as to what a square setup closest to OEM would be with wheels and tire size (with no fender rolling, standard (or maybe a 1" lowered with a cup kit) suspension? Obviously OEM is staggered, but would it be as simple as matching rears and putting them on the front?

Exactly. I'll post a picture of the look I'm ideally going for.

See the fronts are more straight while the back are slightly bent I ward as it reaches the center of the wheel?

Hey John, got your PM but answering here for all to see.
Probably the easiest would be a 17x8.5 or 18x8.5 with an offset in the 35 to 40ish range. I'm also a big fan of what Apex has done on their ARC-8's where you can get a 9" wide wheel with an offset of 42 which works great with fat tires used in track setups.
As with all wheel & tire combos, it's hard to predict what will or won't need a fender rolling. I encourage anyone that wants to fit aftermarket wheels to get their fenders rolled. When done by an experienced person, there is no damage to the car or paint and it is impossible to tell if the fenders have been rolled by looking at the outside of the car.
