Default 18x9 Avant garde M240 offset and tire opinions?

So i've been seaching high and low on gather ideas on wheels and offsets for my setup, I've come to the conclusion its very much a mixed bag with everyone's setup. There isn't a common wheel spec people go for that isn't beyond the realm of most extreme. So yes i have searched...

So i'm trying to find out the best tire and offset specs to go with on the AG M240 wheels in 18x9. I'm not trying to super tuck the wheels or go super stancenation on the car. Trying to keep a nice squared look with a hint of camber, with minimal pull and some rolling of the fenders. Don't have a desire to cut. I haven't decided on springs or coilovers yet for the car, but i'm really trying to keep the car in a very Daily drive able state. Yes i will get told better off keep the stock wheels and tires... but what is the fun in that. I still want to turn heads... that being said yes there will be some area that the car will need to driven carefully with bigger wheels and lower stance. Will manage, just saying i'm not going super camber with tires always wearing on it's inner edge.

Picture below for attention and as reference... not mine but man... like the wheels.

do you have a 90-94 or 95-00? it matters as the fenders differ between generations.

keep in mind offset is only a piece of the fitment puzzle.
you will want a staggered offset even though the widths are the same to fill the fender gaps the best.
what matters also is how low you want to go, and tire sizing.

these wheels are nice but are considered knockoffs of ssr koenig or OZ futura wheels.

I have the 2000 model. Configs are 18x8 and 18x9 with a wide range of offsets.

I’m hitting him up now. Oh and btw, took the car I. For service. She’s has some issues to resolve before I can start adding the goodies. Need mounts and bushings. Shopping for a good set now. Recommendations?
