et49 is the best offset mate... my corsa is 100mm at rear and approx 80mm at front with no arch scrubbing and full lock without any problems. had et35 before but had mad catching front and back so changed to et49 and now perfect.

what clearance you lose with a lower offset you can 'gain' back with stretched tyres
i was running ET37 at 90mm and ET25 at 60mm with no problems
there's no exact science to it, you need to buy the wheels, offer them up and see what tyres you'll need to run and perhaps even a little bit of negative camber

It depends on the wheel width, tyre width and profile size, as well as how low you are

grind away inner metal to spot welds, sand plastic arch so perfectly flat. May need to roll the metal inner arch too.
I was 70mm
