Thats another thing that kinda pulls me in both directions cause the 17's are at 17 offset and the 18's are at a 38 I think. I want that 17mm offset on the 18's!! but cant have best of both worlds I guess. Could always use spaces but ill see how I feel about them when I actually have them on my car.

17mm offset would not look good lol... without a **** ton of modifying ride height, camber adjustments, hella stretched tires, 4-5 degrees of negative camber, removing bumper tab, pulling and rolling fenders. Plus you would have to be slammed.. and I mean slammed to pull off a 17offset.

You are better off getting the 38 offset and throwing a 10mm spacer behind it (they are cheap) and then your offset would be 28 which would allow you to drive at a more functional set up. Plus you said you would not be slammed so if you get to low of an offset you will look mexi flush and like a 90's low rider and they will poke out from the fenders.

Thats what I plan on doing once I get the wheels. But sense im getting the 18's then I probably will be getting spaces after I see them on my car and decide what I want my wheel stance to look like.

Yeah there is no need to rush. I've been through different sets of wheels and all that stuff. Just take your time, research, and do it right. Seems like you are on the right track!

Yeah, it's better to get an offset more on the "safer side" cause you could always add spacers. If you get low offsets, you practically can't go back if you wanted to obviously.

Good luck finding your set.
