What size wheels do I get?
Looking for Monoblocks for my 126025... Should I got 17" or 18"?

What offset works with both of those sizes?

Go with 17's with a low et. The 17's vs. the 18's ride is much better as is the over all ride comfort. You can go as high as 30 et, but the lower et sets the wheel further out hence filling more of the wheel well.
