Icon2 Help w/ choosing good offset for lowered hatch

I have a 1989 Honda civic si hatch back. I currently have 205 50r 15 toyo tire t1rs . I lowered my car somewhat utilizing skunk 2 full coilovers, skunk 2 front and rear camber kits, and of course properly aligning the car. The rims I have now don't have the offset or I cant find it, well it doesnt matter. I'm planning to get a new set of rims can you guys help me choose the right offset. Im looking for a offset that will enable me to lower the car as much as possible without rubbing my tires on fenders and quarter panels. If I have to get 195 50r 15 I will later but I need to burn out my new 205 50r 15 set for now. Thanks for you help would like to see pictures with your offset tire rim combination please specify with or without alignment.

Hey guy s I found this. For my hatch I would need to get a +35, 40, or 45 according to this link. What would be best? What would you use? What are you guys using? Thanx

go with the +40. that's close to stock or is stock(dont remember if it's +40 or +44). you could go with the +45 and get a nice camber look.

Yeah, +45 would be a great offset.
