Default Good setup for 17s

Im looking to buy some work emotions or rpf1s an I'm wondering what offset to get? I want to lower my car so there is no gap but still want an aggressive look to it. It's my daily driver so I didn't want to much camber so I don't run through tires to fast. I need help figuring out the sizes to run. Any ideas?

i have 17x9 +45 square and just had to roll the rear and relocate the tab that everyone does. the front you just need camber and a roll. maybe more maybe less depending on how low you are.

Here is how it sits on 16x8 +38 225 fronts and the 17x9.5 +38 255 rears. I'll try to get better pics. with UK spec alignment. rolled fronts, rolled and pulled rears. Lowered on H&R springs
