Default RPF1's 15x7 +35 or +41?

Looking to get some enkei's and run a 225 50 15 drag radial.
Needing help on what offset would work better 35 or 41.
I am not trying to slam my EM1 but I will go a little lower than stock.
Any advice would be great, also need advice on which drag radial brand to use.
I was looking a BFG drags but have heard good things about MT.

wow ok 100 views and nothiing. I guess i will add more info then to better explain my issue. I would like my 99 si on enkei rpf1's with a +35 offset on a 225/50/15 drag radial. I have read other threads stating that the 225 accel. slow and that to use a 205. Either or would be nice i am trying to get 550+ to the ground and stick. Yes Yes i know that over 450 on a 225 you are lucky to get anything to stick so what i mean is i want something to stick very well or the best out there. If it be a 205 then ok but i think the 225 will be the better choice. I don't care about the accel problem cause i think that if the hp gets out there then to car will accel fast enough.
I also know that you can't tuck the 225 as i do not want to for daily issues(and no this will just be a weekend warrior) but if i did want to go lower than that i would have to roll my fenders yes?? and use a spacer?? I am aware that Drag Radial don't last long i again do not care. The back will hold a 205/50/15 normal road tire and will not be rotated at all or course with the drags in the front.
I read the other thread asking about the 225 and just got a bunch of gearing statements out of it. So if anyone has any ideas or advice on this issue please post up. I am eager to hear them.

225/50-15 is .5" taller than the tallest tire we recommend for that car. It is also 20mm wider than recommended. I would stick with 205/50-15 with the RPF1 in ET41.
