TSW CATALUNYAs 18x8: which offset?

I've been looking to put some 18s on my G35x-
I'm thinking about 18x8s, however there are two offset options:
20 and 40

I imagine a staggered setup would use the 40 on back and 20 on gront-
However, I want to use the same offset front and rear-
Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Sedans can't take +20 offset. Remember stock is +45 all around. I got 20x8.5, +35 offset, 245/35/20 all around.

The car looks perfect. I chose the non-staggered, but if I wanted to, I would have gone with 20x9.5, +45 offset in the rear.

Find the wheel you like and then call the manufacturer and ask them if their wheel fits your car and what set up they would recommend.

+40 would be the right choice for front/rear, however you should be careful about size of tires you choose. 245/40/18 should fit( and give you smallest speedo error)- but different tires will be different width for same posted tire size for different tire manufacturers.I've seen difference as much as 0.5" for same posted 245 size.

Thanks for the info guys.
I got the offset thing now, was mixed up.

The TSWs are probably on the heavy side- Still up in the air about which direction to go.
