Since each tire is slightly different this may not be a firm rule if moving from one tire to another.

D-force make a lightweight eMPower wheel in an 18" rim.
the empower offsets are terrible for the rear for track or autocross use.

It's one of the reasons the ARC-8 was developed in 18x9.5" with a 62mm offset (what the 1 series really needs in the rear). On the em-power you can't fit more then a 255/35, while the ARC-8 can handle a 275, and no other wheel on the market can do that right now until they start to copy their offset.
