Default what offset for 15inch wheels

what offset would look the cleanest on a 15x6.5 or 15x7

Im not looking for a super low offset, just something that looks good on a moderately lowered dc2

6.5 or 7 isn't the offset. That's the width of the wheel.

If you're not going for the "extreme camber" look, I would recommend +38mm to +40mm offset.

He didn't say that it was. He understands that the best offset depends on the width of the wheel, so he's asking what offset works best for a 15x6.5 or 15x7. It's a perfectly reasonable question, perfectly worded.

I want an offset higher than +20...I dont want to have any issues with rubbing or having tu roll fenders. I guess something in the mid 30's would be ideal right?
