U know wheels don't come in any offset u want unless there custom witch cost big $$$$ lso depends if u want safe specs or aggressive...pick your wheels first and then u can decide on best offset and width....

I already know what wheels I want, standard offsets are 35 up front and 38 in the rear, but they can make them with any offset between 20 and 45. I want something that's not gonna give any issues, not to cambered as I don't want to be changing tires every three month, been there.

He said they can make them between 20 and 45, not that he wants them in 20.

From what I have read, higher is better up to a certain point. What has been done to the car thus far? Drop? Camber kit? fenders rolled and tabs cut? I think the rears will most likely need to have tabs cut and fenders rolled if you are dropped. More info is better, as well as what you intend to do.

I am running 18x8.5 all around with +52, no camber kits and tabs cut on the rears. Fenders haven't been rolled yet, but might do so from rubbing on one side with a full car going over bumps and rough roads.

Once I get the new wheels I'll upgrade to function/form type 1 coilovers, and a camber kit if needed

I'm on 19x8.5 +38, my fenders are rolled, and bumper is cut. On 225s, my rears will hold a credit card in the fender.

I have 19x8.5 45et all around and pretty slammed on ff1 (natural camber). I kind of regret it a little bit because when I bought the rims I could've gone w either 35et or 45et and I went with 45 because didn't want to rub but now I want to go more aggressive. My fenders are not rolled but my bumper tabs are cut and don't rub (only on bumps when I have people on back but nothing serious). If you don't want to be cambered and not having issues with rubbing then go with the higher offset, 45 in your case. Hope this helps. Btw I'm on 225/35 all around
