Wheel fitment questions...18x8.5..offset??

New here....

Looking at an 18x8.5 wheel for the front and back. My main concern is the offset.

Here are the available offsets.

18 x 8.5 +20/+25/+30/+48 5h x 114.3

I want to go with the lowest offset possible. I think 30+ should be ok but not quite sure (I have seached).

Thanks to all!

Here are the wheels, though I may get a different finish:

In 18X8.5" i have wheels ranging from 38mm to 45mm that will fit the RX8. The offset varies from manufacturer to manufacturer due to brake clearance.
