I would go to the wheel/tire section at the bottom of the forum.

The proper offset depends on the width.

width matters! pick a width, and then the ideal offset will be determined based off of that

offset =/= backspacing..

In all honesty you should indicate things like:

1. Purpose of vehicle, street only, autox, roadrace, canyon racer, etc....
2. Show us a style of wheel you like
3. Tell us your USD Budget for WHEELS ONLY

This will isolate a particular fitment that would work with the car and meet your criteria.

Honestly we can list a plethora of fitments but won't help isolate a wheel that will work for your needs. Lets start with your performance and style needs. From there we can determine a conducive fitment.
