new shoes, HELP

looking for new tires and wheels. I'm thinking light, like Enkei or OZ. Black powder coated maybe, or just polished aluminum. Like the looks of the Toyo Proxies, but really like theGood year Eagle F1G3s..... really don't want to cut plastic.... both come in 245 40 18. would an offset wheel allow for say, a 265 wheel without chopping? Don't see why a 245 18 anything, under 60, would not fit. Maybe I,m just being dense....can someone clear this up for me. Will a wider footprint affect the TOD somehow?

Chop:
.
How about a Pirelli Scorpion Zero ..... or whatever it is called ...... in 255-55-18 ?
.
I prefer the 255-55 over the 245-60.
.
New 265-60's were installed on my VX when I purchased it - they contacted the lower front portion of the cladding (front bumper cover). I exchanged them for 255-55's.
