Whats the lowest offset we can go?

Hey guys I have an '05 Rx8 lowered on H&R Springs, and I found a set of mags that I like but I fear that the offset might be too low. Can anyboby help me out here?

The mags are staggered 18x8 and 18x10 and the offset is 32 & 35 respectively.

Will these wheels fit my car? and if not, what the lowest offset I can go? I wanna get some lip on my car!

The front will probably be OK...the 18X10 35 offset will likely rub in the rear pretty bad if you are lowered at all, depending on the alignment..more camber and it might barely fit. It will just wear out your tires bad on the street

18X9.5 40 offset just barely clears....so go from there......you would be about 17mm further out than that......

So a 17X9.5 wheel with a 275 tire should fit just fine at all corners assuming the wheel is 44 offset correct?

18X9.5 45 offset fit with up to 285's on all 4 corners....so yes

The 17" might not fit over the brakes though
