Proper offset?

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....

Scions + Low offsets = OK (I ran a +25 in the rear w/o problems on my xB)

Yaris + Low offsets = Rub.

I rubbed with a 15x6.5, +38, and 205/50/15s
I rubbed badly with a 16x7, +37, and 205/50/16s

Heck, I even rub a tad bit with +40 and 195/55/15. Granted, my front end is pretty low, but not that low.
