Default Whats the best Offset On Rims

I planning to get some Work wheels. But I need to know if 18*8 with 35 offset rims will look weird on my car. Because I got Rotora Big brake. I'm afraid it might not have enough clearance on the brake. What is the lowest offset you can put on the Rsx? They only have 28, 35, and 45 offset. Thank you...

I think, that for you, the 35 might work best. 45 might bring the wheels too far inboard, and if it's too far they'd rub on suspension or the inside part of the wheel well.

Dig around on ClubRSX.com to see what they've been able to fit. I'd also measure how much clearance there is now and compare the findings to what some of these calculators tell you:
