...but I don't agree with running different offsets front and rear. Just my personal philosophy that you need to try to mirror the original OEM specs and design -- and regarding offset, it's the same front and rear.
That does indeed mean you'll bring the front wheels out further, but I'm more a believer in trying to keep the car's handling dynamics close to original.
And again, I don't know what model year you're dealing with. I've got a '93 Aero, which has wider fenderwells/more flared fender lips than '92 and earlier. Hence Nick's issue on his '90 with the fronts rubbing.
I should also note that I'm running 215/45-17 rubber on my rims. Nick's running bigger tires (can't remember if he'd said 225 or 245). The 215s deliver very satisfactory handling -- they're Bridgestone Potenza RE750s.
Again, for what it's worth. I'm but one person and opinion...
