I have searched and searched!

As the title states I have searched many times on here and on other sites and still don't know the correct offset for some slipstreams.

My number one choice is 16x8s with some 245/45/16s...
But the 16" rotas Ive seen only come in 48 offset... Seems to me they would hit the suspension with that offset

Or I could opt to run a 17x8 with +35 w/245/45/17s, but they may stick out too far...

I plan on lowering it between 1.50~1.75 front and rear if that matters.
The car is a weekend warrior so traction in a straight line is what I'm looking for.
I will roll the fenders if need be, but don't want the tires and rims sticking out too far.

Thanks for all the help!

Yea ive looked at vfaq and I understand offsets. Thats one of the places that makes me think the 48 would rub.

I'm just really lost when it comes to rims and tires

A +48 offset will make the rim sit inside the wheel well farther then a +38. You're more likely to rub on the knuckle then the inside of the fender.

Look at any Evo 8 rims on 2g's. They are 17x8 +38 and most people run 235/45/17 with a few running 245/40/17. They fit perfect, if you ask me.

You guys don't look very hard.

Here's some pictures. The linked post is to knochgoon24's car and the one immediately following his is from my car. You can see what a 245/45 looks like on a +38 wheel. Just add 3mm visually for a +35 wheel.
