Volk TE37 offset question

Hey everyone! I just placed an order for some Volk TE37's. The guy I ordered them from suggested I go with a +35 offset on a 19 x 8.5 wheel. I had seen Acuratein's WDP TL with Bronze TE's and they have a +43 offset, I believe. My question is how will the +35 differ from the +43? Will the rim sit outside the fender more? (i.e. harder to lower without rubbing?) Also, when the TE37 is on a car that supports wider wheels, the spokes tend to curve in towards the center. Would I see more of this effect with a smaller offset, or would it be unnoticeable? Thanks to anyone who replies!

Incidently: 2004, 6MT ABP. Volks ordereed: TE37, Titanium Gunmetal, +43 offset, 19 x 8.5.

Not sure if I am allowed to post a link to another website, but I ordered them from Discount Tire/Wheeloptions.com. I went through importhookup.com and got a decent discount. Final cost for rims only was $2465.
Anyone have any help for me on the offset issue? I really love the sunken spoke/concave look and hope it is possible on the TL. Thanks again!

You gotta post pictures when you get em on the car. I have an ABP and would love to see the gunmetal 37's on there. I think they will look fantastic!

I dont understand the offset issue either, I recently sold my GTC's and now i'm looking to buy the TE37 Limited Editions, they come in glossy black with the polish lip. I want to get 19x9 or 9.5 in the rear and 18x8.5 up front,but dont know what the right offset is. Anybody who can explain it to me or give me suggestion... It would be great.
