Proper offset?

although if you lower the car with the +35mm you run the risk of rubbing.

EDIT: why did you choose tenzo if you don't mind me asking?

that is not true in the slightest, we can run pretty low offsets on Scions with out rubbing
I run 17x7 +18 front and +5 rear.... with 205/40R17.... I am lowered 3 inches, no rubbing problems.

congrats, you have a scion xB.

does the OP?

I run a 15x7 +35mm on my YARIS and it rubbed when lowered until we put coilovers on. I have a feeling that's a little more applicable then your scion when regarding the OP's setup.

Although I could be wrong....

i recommend Team Dynamics (the racing line, not the "street line") an excellent UK-made wheel and comes in decent offerings for width and offset. simple designs, strong, and relatively lightweight
