Default Question for the offset gurus (Meister related)

Hey guys, so I'm looking at buying a set of Meisters, and am looking for something aggressive, but don't want to bite off more than I can handle. My car will be dropped on Eibach Pro Kits, and is stock with no body mods currently. I also don't have a BBK nor the Brembo's. I'm considering buying the 19 x 11 +17 O disk for the rear, though am concerned that it will stick out too much with my mild drop (as well as not wanting to run too much camber). I've seen some setups using these rears, but it looks like they are dropped way more than I would be, as well as running more serious camber. Am I better off with going with something like the 19 x 10.5 +23 O disk? I just want to maximize the lip for the rear, but don't know if my setup allows me to go for the wider rim.

If I do go with the 19 x 11 +17, what's the closest match for the front? 19 x 9.5 +16 A disk?

Thanks for the help!

Edit: I'm planning on running either a 275 or 285/35/19 on these rims.

What front tire? I prefer the 245/285 setup. I'm running 275 in the rear
with a slightly similar spring setup and it just doesn't fill the gap proper.

imo you should go with the +17. This setup just looks better.

You don't think a +17 11" rim will stick out too much?

Front tire would be 245 if I choose 275 for rear, 255 if I go 285. I guess my definition of 'too much' is if it is noticeably sticking out, i.e. some of the cars in the aggressive thread. I want it to look rather even with the rear fender, without having my tires cambered too much /---\ Tough to explain, haha.

It won't and it looks far better than the 10.5 that seems to not comply without a super
low offset.
