15x7 or 14x7 optimal offset with lowering
What is the optimal offset on those rim sizes say with a 205 tire. Kind of flush with the fenders but "drift tight yo" more race function with no rubbing issues.
Thanks
also no rolled fenders as i Havent founbd a place around me to do them.

I run a 205 with + 20mm offset, and the wheels I have were specifically designed for the car (konig rewinds). That said, right now I am having issues with the front left tire rubbing the fender, which is being pulled down by the tire and leaving little cuts in the tread. I have tokico hp struts with racing beat springs, which also caused the car to sit lower on the driver side. If you're going to modify your suspension, spend the extra loot on the re-speed coilover setup, and let me know if your tires rub..

I would say go with the 15 simply for the ease of bigger and better tire selection. The offset would be a little lower than 20 to get the closest look. Maybe around 10.
I have 15*8 with 0 offset in the rear with a 205 50 and it is really close to flush. It sticks out just a little.
I also have problems with the front driver side scraping. I think my problem is due more to the wheel being too wide. But the passenger side doesn't scrape.
