How to know what low offset will fit?? help

Ok guys I have been shopping around for a new pair of shoes for the fit, I have decieded to put my T1R BMAX52 back on and want a new look with low offset wheels... I cannot get any shops help get the dimensions i want, they call me crazy and tell me my car will look stupid... Ok "F" those guys... Ok im looking at getting some work equip 03's 15x8 +10 up front and 15x8 +7 (or +8) in the rear. I am new to getting the aggresive stance, I know some of you guys can shed some light and im not asking for anyones offset (I know the reasons for being secretive).

P.S. I need to update my Sig

I'm not surprised they can't help you much - that size wheel simply won't fit right without a lot of work.

Secretive shmecretive. It's simple math - the offset of the rims you're looking at are going to place them more than 1.75" farther out than stock. And on top of that, they're an inch wider. On compression, how much clearance is there between your stock tire and stock fenders?

Not saying your wrong at all by any means, but if you look at Toweile car he is pretty close to +8 offset with his BBS (RS'S i believe). correct me if im wrong

He wasnt at a +8.

You need to invest in some of the Hyper Rev of the Fits. That's where I have gotten many ideas and info on styling, wheel fitments.

I had 15x7 +13 and they stuck out about 5mm in the front and rear

Hyper Rev? What's that, I don't mind doing research. Thanks for all the input so far...

Hyper Rev are Japanese mags. There're a few editions that feature the Fit.

ya good luck..i've had 15x7 +18 offset all around before, and it stuck out like half an inch past the fender (had coilovers and fat tires too). now if i have gotten stretched tires, i would've sat flushed on my wheels. 15x8, you're def going to be past the fender, but when you adjust the height of your car, try to have at least 1 1/2 finger gap from the tire to the fender or you're going to rub. though if you run negative camber and stretched tires (like towelie), then you won't rub at all or at a minimum. hope this helps! update us with some pics when you get them on!
