Offset Question, Pls Help!

My question for your wheel experts is that I want to get new wheels for my MT 06 TL but I don't want it to rub and I don't to roll my fenders.

I am currently on Tein Basics with about a finger gap all around on stock wheels.

I am looking at buying some BBS LM's, 18x9.5. I think that would sit flush, correct me if I'm wrong.

But my main question is that what is the lowest offset I can do in the front with the stock Brembo's, and what is the lowest offset I can do in the rear.

I am hoping to do a staggered look. Last thing is which tires would you guys recommend with a tad stretch. I will post some pictures of my car as soon as I figure out how to.

Thanks in advance.

I will take a side view picture tmrw for you.

Well I want the same size width wheels but a different lip width. Like a one inch lip in the front, and three in the rear.

Your car looks sick, I think I will do some reps because they are much cheaper.

Do you have Brembo's in the front? If you do, what offset are you running in the front to clear them?

Also murph145, if you can post some picks of your car with the BBS LM reps that would be awesome.

thanks guys

here are a few pics for the cost ($800) they were way worth it.... If you want me to give you the guy who I got them from let me know I can fwd you the info.... and its $800 shipped to your door!

he offers another non aggressive fitment with offsets in the mid +30's but I am running both +15 front and rears... front poke a lil and rears a tad bit more.

murph145, do you have the oem Brembo's? It looks like it in the picture. If you do, and +15 clears the Brembo's then your fitment is perfect for what I'm looking for.

Does the rear have negative camber?

If you can send me the seller's information that would be great. Maybe I wont do staggered, if the seller has 19x9 +15 (if it clears my front Brembo's), then that would be the fitment for me.
