Default what is best off set for lowered s2k?

I'm going to buy a work meister s1 (2 piece) 17 x 8 or 17 x 8.5 for front and 17 x 9 or 17x 9.5 for rear for my s2k. (which is better size?)
My car is going to be lowered and it just have OEM brake.
I'm just wondering what is best offset for my car without rubbing or rolling the fender.
I want my wheels looks flush with fender line.
Any pictures or idea will be great for me.
Thanks.

What are your choices in offsets?- they are more important for fitment. Unless you are going to track or just want to pay more for wider tires there is no need to go wider than 17x8 and 17x9 (wider does look cooler though )

I'm not going to take my s2k to track or anything.
I just need some info so I don't need to roll my fender or rub my tires.
Also flush with my fender as possible.
I will probably go 17 x 8 on the front and 17 x 9.5 rear.
tires....225/45/17 front 255/40/17 rear.

its not about the width, its about the offset. to be "Flush with the fender" you are going to have to run a stretched tire or roll your fenders.
