Looking at Enkei 18x8 35mm offset; How will they affect handling?
Looking at putting a set of Enkei RPF1s on my 2009. Using the stock 225/45R18 tire size (Michelin Pilot Sport 4 All-Season)
35mm offset is what TireRack is advertising to go front and rear.
Stock wheels are 50mm offset.
How will this change in offset affect handling?

You can play around with an offset calculator.
www.1010Tires.com
Doing some quick calculations, it will extend the wheel 15mm outwards towards the fenders. I run the enkie RPF1's which are 17x9 with an offset of 45mm. That wheel extends outwards 18mm, so they will fit. How it will change the handling I'm not certain.. but the wheels are lighter so it will be a net benefit to your car. Should be slightly better acceleration and stopping..
