FINAL HELP NEEDED ON THESE: Work Emotion XD9, Which is the most best offset Options

[trdproven]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can assist me in making the bst decision. My car is lowered by almost 2 inches. I want to get these rims as close as I can to the fender without any problems rubbing or hitting any suspension parts. I've decided on 17" wheels but I need to know which is the best width to maximize. I was looking at the 17x7.5 +32. Is this a perfect size? I saw on WannabeGT4's thread that this is pretty close to flush. Unless I need 17x7.5 +42 to be safe.


Planning to go the shop and make a special order today so if I could get an idea that would be most appreciated. By the way, I am getting these with 215/45/17 tires. No way I am getting 40 series.

Thanks!

I'm going in to order very soon. Work Emotion and a Stateside Dealer both say, the 17x7.5 +32 offset fits fine on lowered cars. MaskedMan has 17x7.5 +42 and he says that he is satisfied. My goal is to flush it behind the fender as much I can. According to WannabeGT4, below, he says that 7.5 +33 is recommended. Will the +1 offset difference prevent me from running the +32 offset? Please help, need to make a decision in a few hours. Thanks!

Ideal Offset in Relation to Wheel Width (lower ride height):
Width - Offset
7.0"-----36mm with 10mm spacer (effectively 26mm) *
7.5"-----33mm
