why are you so set on getting low offset wheels. You have $2500 to spend and therefore, this makes absolutely no sense. Its not like you need to scrounge for a used set from a different car.

You'd be surprised at what will fit, without rubbing, especially if you drop the car. The 3 or so degrees of camber that result will clear a 17" +35 without flaring(rear). Don't listen to scary people that have no experience with low offset... nothing looks gay-er than a rwd car with high offset fwd wheels in the back.
Definately listen to this guy and his 3 days of experience around here

With the picture you provided you cannot tell the offset. With the te37/le37 I believe the lowest offset you can go for the rear with just having to roll the fenders is a 17x9 45. Even with these im not sure you will get the sunk face / concave look to them. maybe some low offset volk experts will chime in.
You neeed at least a +22 or lower to achieve concave/sunk face TE's

Negative x2

You'll be sticking out at least 1.5 inches. Im a big fan of aggressiveness, but those will not work. UNLESS, you do a crazy pull but it'd be pretty darn crazy to do so lol

TE37 17X9 +22 will sunk but 17X9 +12 is more yummie.

18X9 do not have sunk offsets.

I have 18X8.5 +30 and it do not sunk at all.

TE37 has a lip so it's hard to sunk without going with super low offsets.
