^the best thing to do is use the online calculator to help you understand offsets.

its hard to explain and even then with your semi-aggressive set up, you may have to resort to using camber to get it to sit right.

its an experiment and its not a one size fits all question and answer

^are you even lowered?
being lowered will help tie everything together.


and what kind of help are you looking for with that spec picked out already?

edit


our cars run natural negative camber in the rear.
so, no matter what you're going to be running camber. ESPECIALLY if you want to lower it even more.

you need to look up the definition of both camber and spacers.
because this is where you're getting into trouble.

spacers add width.
camber is the angle at which the tire sits

you should definitely research things before you buy things.

its not a one question and answer kind of thing.

ALL of these things; wheels, camber, how low you are work together to produce the desired look.

because its not a simple yes or no answer.

you're asking, therefore you dont know.


you need to understand things before you do things, or else you wont get the desired effects.

we can sit here and talk about everything for HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS, but you still wont understand until you go out and do it.

^so, when you get your wheels put them on.

then see where you're at. see if you got the desired look from just slapping on the wheels.

if not, you'll have to play with camber, tires, etc.

2 things..

first.. i know those wheels you want only comes in like 2-3 choices of offsets.. for you to say "what offset should i run for flush look" is kind of vague.. you need to list down the offsets avaliable.. its not like they can make you any offset you want..

secondly.. you did not state you want stretched tires.. that plays a major factor..

i still dont think you know what camber means.

if the car comes with negative camber from the factory, it means you're running camber.

up to -1.7 is still in spec.

i guarantee the lower you drop it, the more camber its going to have NATURALLY.

if you drop it past the "in-spec" range, you will have to get a camber kit.
