It really depends on what your looking for, do you want lip/concavity? Wider wheels with lower offset will usually have a bigger lip. The impuls have lip rather then concavity like the CR Kai's or Advans or any other wheel with no lips.

There is no ideal unless we know what you want.

Lets put it this way, do you want the Time attack look or drifter/ vip look?

Offset rules
lower - offset means closer to road/further apart/further from center of vehicle, so the cars stance would be wider.
Higher + offset means wheels are closer to the center of the car.

[] = wheels
l = center of vehicle

best way to explain:

lower offset is [].............l............[]

higher offset is []........l.......[]

Offset doesn't look that drastic but you get the point.
