First question is X pattern compound for carpet? Which offset wheel? Wider is better?

Depending on your set up and how much traction your carpet track has.
I think a safe bet would be Pro belted tires. D's work good as well but require a real soft suspension set up to make them work 100%.
Wheel wise I would say 0 front 3 rear if you're running 190mm body if 200mm run 3mm/6mm.
Depending a lot on your speed control and how tight your track is I'd start at 3.7FDR
