Default 17" Custom Offset?

Hey guys I was wondering what is the lowest or the best offset size for 17x8s in the front and possibly 17x9.5 or x10 in the rears. From what I am reading it seems like +55 and +65 but i wanted a bit lower one to get a little bigger lip. Also if I have to I could roll the fenders as well. By the way I am lowered on kg/mm race springs so that may effect the offset a bit.
Thanks for the help.
Tej

A dish on the wheels + s2000 offsets does not mix. The lowest you could probably do with a drop on the KG/MM race springs is maybe +55 on a 9" rear wheel

If you go with a wheel like Work S2R or the Vs SS wheel, you can get a lip.

I have both those rims and can tell you the lip on it is nothing to brag about.

ya, i am looking at a set of jlines, and I think I may do a 17x8 +49 and a 17x9.5 +55. From what it looks like, that should fit and I may do a step lip as well still undecided. Thats the size people are running with the sp1s and I like the way that looks. What do you think about that? By the way thanks for the help

whats the benefit of that? Bigger lip? I really think the +55 will look aggressive unless the 17x10 looks even more aggressive. Pictures sure would help. Again thanks.
