Default 2000 Civic Si 15x7 offset question

I have a 2000 Civic Si race car. I am currently running a 15x7 wheel with 38 mm offset and 205-50-15 Hankook Ventus Z211. This works fine with rolled fenders. There is no rubbing. I am ordering a scond set of wheels, some Team Dynamic Pro Race 1, and the choices are 25, 35 or 40 offset. I'm wondering if I can get away with 35 or even 25 offset if I continue to run 205 width tires. Anybody have experience with this? Thanks.

I was able to get 35 to fit easily with rolling my fenders.

Heres mine with my ATS wheels

the reason I suggested 35mm is in case you wanted to run wider tires in the future. Otherwise, 40mm will work......

I am sure that 40 offset clears, I am wondering if there is an advantage in running 35 or even a 25 offset to gain track?

running a 10 mm spacer would have the same effect. when i get a chance i will datalog a session with, and then with out spacers... it's not that significat since the CG is pretty high on production cars.

Except j00'll most likely need longer studs....that's not the case when the wheels have correct offset from the getgo.
