German vehicles stink, will never buy again. Moved on to Toyota and BYD.

I'm looking to put 18" chrome wheels on my car for the summer (I don't want to deal with low profile tires). I saw the debate about offset and a bit confused. I am not running into anything that has a +40 or more offset, everything is either 30/33, 35, or 37.

What offset would be the best that won't mess up handling for 18"? Does anyone know what offset the stock wheels are?

if you go with a 37mm offset in the rear you wont need to roll your fenders..

i have 35mm on 19's and only rub when i hit large bumps..

off topic what does it usually cost for a fender rolling...
