Ive seen people run from 6 all the way to 10 FDR. I would start around the 6 mark, there will be enough torque for you to slide, and it should keep your motor really cool. reduce the pinion size if you find that it is too hot.

Or am I way off base and as usual have no idea what I am talking about?
Yes it is the width of the car. I believe the spring 2 is 190mm, so with a 200mm body (depending on the body), my 350Z has 3mm offset up front and 6mm offset in the rear. probably could have gotten away with 6mm offset all the way around.
