There are a ton of threads on this in the Wheel & Tire subforum.

It's a pretty long answer, it depends on what you're willing to do. Do you want to keep your fenders virgin? run negative camber? roll fenders? buy aftermarket fenders? buy a widebody kit?

It also GREATLY depends on the width of the wheel and the width of the tire that you are running. Send the specs of the wheels and we can tell you what you'll need to do to make them fit.

do you want to buy tires every 3 months? if not, then keep the offsets higher and recover as much camber as you can if you drop it.

I think stock offsets are +55 or more

my volks were +48 (18 X 8) but I rubbed in the rear with 255 tires over bumps and dips and hard (dragon run style) cornering...and that was on stock springs

we need to know what you are looking at and what your suspension plans are before we can say whats right or wrong with it.

My dailys are 17x8 +43 rear

that is way aggressive. I think it looks good but I had to do alot of fender mods to get them to work right and they still run if I hit a bump in a hard corner.

Oh, and it also depends on how low your car is. But yeah, just post the sizes & offsets, and we can tell you

BTW, "Aggressive" in this context here and elsewhere on S2KI means literally "Don't Fit"

Mine are 17x8 +48
