Default You can pick

The beauty of HRE wheels is that if you're picky, you can request a completely custom offset. It costs a bit more if special work needs to be done
18x8 is a perfect size, as is 19x8. The wheel/spoke design and offset ultimately determine the lip, so it'll vary from wheel type to type.
Contact an HRE dealer, or HRE direct for questions.

Default 540's definitely!

I would to with the 540R for sure.. Make sure you like the polished look though as it will be very shinny! I have a brushed finish on mine and it came out very shinny.. And as far as size I would recommend 19's if its going to be a show car and 18's for daily driver.. I know they are strong wheels, but got 2 dents in the 18's in the past already..
