Default Enkei RS7 - Offset help please?

First off, I'm new to modifying so please forgive me if its a stupid question lol Basically I've decided I think I might go for the Enkei RS7 in gun metal however I also want to keep my stock tires as theres pretty much 100% tread on them.

What offset do I choose? (Would my exact tire specs help?)
If so I'll have to report back tomorrow morning but thanks guys!

Where do i start....

Ok first of all you do not want that wheel. It is not offered in staggard fittment and even if you decide to go same size all around it is still only offered in a MAX 7.5 width in offsets of 35 or greater.

This wheel was not made for our cars, but for civics and such. If you get these wheels they will look like your driving around on nice doughnuts.

Finally, we need specs on your current tires but if you have stockies you WILL NOT be able to use (or most likely not) your tires on your stock wheels.

My suggestion, go research and type "wheels and tires" within the seach option on this wheels section of the forums and read EVERY thread for a week or two, even if you dont understand them at first, you will will know everything you need to know after a week or so.

This is one of several "backwards" wheel- tire buys that I have read. Wheels will last longer than tires. Pick tires to fit wheels not wheels to fit tires.

Look at this thread. Keep in mind all i did was type "Explain offsets" in search options. Search is a very simple concept young one...
