Offset question

Looking at buying some new wheels for my LX. I would prefer to have the wheels flush with the fenders. Or just within the fenders as I plan to drop it. Anyone know what the best offset would be? Thank you.

I have 16x7 +42 all around and it's pretty flush...anything lower imo will poke out.

I have 17x7.5 sparco drifts. Flush and on lowered fit. Minor rubbing on potholes.

See my mod thread in my sig - my wheels are 16x7 +40, and the tires would occasionally kiss the fender on big bumps. I've since installed RSR "down" springs (minimal drop) and they are stiffer to the point where I rarely rub any more, despite being lower. I'm also running camber bolts, at -1.5*, which probably helps, too.

the rear can use 5-7mm less offset and come out nicely. i ran spacers on the rear when i had my GE. it looks to be the same for the GK as the rear is sunken in more.

example: if your front is 45mm offset, you can run like a 38 on the rears.
