i have 7" rims with +36 offset and they sit flush, so i guess +32 may be barely off limits especially if spokes stick out a bit.

7" wow that's a small diameter, Tyre walls must be massive LOL

I had +35 offest 17" wheels with 205/40 tyres and they rubbed on the rear arches so I'm pretty sure that +32 offset will.

I currently have 18's with +45 offset and 225/35 tyres with no rubbing, you might get away with +40 offset but I personally wouldn't go any lower than that.

At the top of the rear bumper where it meets the body, if you look up inside the wheel arch you will see a small lip about 1/2" long that sticks out, this usually rubs first. You can safely cut this off with a small hacksaw as it is only plastic and you don't see it, this will give you a bit more clearance.

lol.. but yah i would think a +32 offset would be ok since the rims are only 6.5" wide. sounds like the 15" GAB wheels you're talking about yah?
