Now I know going too low from the stock offset can cause more torque steer, uneven tread wear, stress on wheel bearing, etc, but I was wondering how low you can go before this really adversely impacts your handling? I also know lower offsets have a wider track, which would contribute to more stability in corners, and give more road feedback through the steering wheel.
Any thoughts/experiences would help.

Lots of questions...I will hit up some later....
FIANCE bitching
Generally I run the smallest wheel that will fit under the brakes needed for what the car will be utalized for...
EVEN if you were to run a 195 you want to go with as WIDE of a wheel as possible....I know, once I get my new wheels I am going to calclulate exactly the offset for the width that I will be running that will allow proper clearance...Probably 9" wheels....BUt I will also probabhly run 245's or more/up front....Now enough about me...Generally ou want to run the closest offset to stock as you can to fit what tires you can run without rubbing...THere is a formula..I don't recall it off hand but will sooner rather than later..
I will get some conclusions for you shortly....
