Default best offset?
hey just wondering, but what would be a better offset for my car +35 or +42? the rims are going to be 17in and the car will be lowered about 1.5"

What's the width of the wheels?

Also offset is more of a personal preference. How do you want the wheels to sit? Flush, within the fender, or poke?

+35 would be closer to flush but not exactly. Get some 25mm spacers on the 35s! What wheels?

^ Yup, +35 would probably your best bet but it wouldn't be exactly 'flushed' tho.
