Default mb wheel questions

hey folks.
sorry if this has been asked before. i have searched and havent found a specific answer to my question. if it has been answered you could just point me in the right direction.
im looking at ordering the mb weapon wheels hopefully this week sometime and was curious what offset to get. im ordering 17x9 and they offer it in either +17 or +27 and i will be running 275/40 tires. my car has tein s-tech springs and my fenders arent rolled.
thanks in advance
Luke

Either offset will clear Brembo brakes. +17 is the one you want, and you can still run a 10mm spacer in the rear with your chosen tire size.

for some reason I thought 18"s were needed to clear the brembos. I may just be tired though and forgetting stuff

Nope, they have a very open spoke design almost like they were designed to clear "real" calipers. I ran those wheels up front last season over my 14 inch 6 piston kit.
