more wheel questions - front width (which is better)

hello all,

2008 m coupe;

going to have some wheels made directly from bbs motorsports.... was wondering everyones thoughts on front wheel width and offset?

so initially told bbs what I drove, was replied with 8.5inch wide front and 10inch wide rear, I wrote back and asked if a 9inch front was possible, and was quoted yes it was....

so my question to all of you is...is there a better choice? I would think there is absolutely zero performance benefit of going wider to the 9inch.....is this correct?

i know our stock staggered fitment is 1inch different front and rear(18x8 front and 18x9 rear) am I weird to think the 1.5inch difference is odd? or is this quite common?

what does everyone then think....8.5inch front or 9inch front? the 8.5 would be et32 the 9 would be et35.
