Default wheel width

summer is here and wanted to upgrade alloys soon. Can you put wider alloys at rear or is that gonna mess the drive? Also whats the max safest width I can put on my 8? also what is the best offset for our cars?

I have a staggered offset set of 20" BBS alloys on mine which are 11" on the rear and 9.5 on the front. If I knew how to post photos on this forum I could show how they look but I'm crap so I can't. The correct offset is most important to avoid any clearance issues. I've been running this setup for nearly 2 years apart from over winter with no problems at all. Hope this helps
