Keep the offset stock if possible (+50mm) or mildly offset (+43)

It makes the tire/rim stick out wider - so the stance is more "aggressive" - however this is at the expense of clearance with the wheel well - you can actually fit a wider tire on a 50 offset vs 43. The only other reason to use more offset is to clear bigger brake calipers like Spoonies

So when are you going to get a set of these (Spoon calipers), you have everything else

That depends on your alignment, camber, width of rim and tire choice.
