Wheel question? Help me out

Hey guys im new to the evo scene, but am quite familiar with the m3 scene...and i always loved nt03s on m3's and they look great on evo's too...my question is what size wheels do i need to have a nice agressive set up? Im not a fan of that stretched tire ****...i just want to be able to run 265/18 or 255/18 tires and the wheels have alot of concave to them, i dont mind rolling the fenders but i dont want to have to run spacers, i think i want 18x9.5s but im not sure on offset...and i dont NOT WANT THEM TO RUB AT ALL...i have done some research but cant find exactly what i need...thank in advance guys, sorry if this has been answered else where!

I use to have 3 m3's my self 2 e30 and 1 e36 sedan, but anyways about your question. I ran 18x8.5 with a 30 offset no spacer with 255/35/18 and no rubbing. The tires sit perfect on a 8.5 inch rim, that's probably as wide as you want to go. Now if you don't mind rolling your fenders you can run 9.5 with wider rubber not to sure about the offset though? If I had to guess it's probably a 15-20 offset. BTW I also run coil overs .
