I'd say 30 as well. I have 25mm H&R's in the rear on my 30 offset and it looks amazing.

make sure you put tire size into the equation - that will determine what, if any, body mods you will need

and make sure you've got a way to adjust camber and especially toe out back - you are going to have gobs of toe in with that low of an offset

Would a 10mm spacer throw off toe too much?
I'm looking at some 17x8 wheels with a 35mm offset, but I wanted a pair of spacers for the rears.

Oh, btw. How do you set the torque on the type 4 spacers Here

in its most simple form, setting the alignment is setting the relative position of the tires to the ground. Any issues that exist with stock wheels and tires (such as exceessive camber due to lowering, or excessive toe), are now even further exaggerated as you move the wheel farther and farther out on the axle. Fit wider wheels and tires, the problem is exaggerated even more.

Again, no one can tell you "how much" a given setup willl throw you off, as no one knows what your alignment specs are before you start altering things. The only way to know is measure, make your mods, measure again, and then use something like the SPC kit to bring things back into spec. It's got more than enough adjustment that I've yet to find a wheel/tire combo it could not correct for
