Default Which rota setup should I get?

Ok I know for sure I want 9.5 all around but I cant decide on the offset. Currently subydude tells me he has them in stock but only in 30mm and 25mm offest. I wanted 20mm. What do you guys think will look best? Basically I do not want a (cave in) look and have to be forced to use a spacer because I hate the spacer idea. Im not slammed because I only have the hotchkis springs and dont lower as low as eibachs.If you rota guys have pics please feel free to post them up. Thanks!

The higher the offset, the more the wheels stick out. So I'd lean towards +30mm. But if Solidsnake's got 20mm, they look pretty damn good.

So If I wanted to get hte 9.5 around, the 30 mm offset would make the wheels stick out more/?

I want these wheels, but I want to avoid the wheels looking tucked in

You'll want a 25 because 20's will limit ur tire sizes if you're lowered. With 25's you can fit bigger tires and also be lowered more. 20+ and you're gonna start to throw off suspension specs. 30+ and you're gonna have poor fender filling.

Wrong. If you get +30mm offset, your wheels will tuck more. Basically the + 20mm offset will stick out 10mm more than the 30mm from the hub. Check this out, it might help. I found this in another thread. http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

I think +20 is perfect. If you want to go more aggressive, you can get a spacer. Mine is very aggressive especially with the 275's in the rear. My fenders are rolled though, so a 20mm no spacer for your car should be fine.
