I thought the 25mm offset would be the ideal one ? No ?

Smaller number will bring the rims out ( to the fenders) . In other words, it will sit flush to the fender .

Alright thanks. So If I dont like how far they sit in I could always get some wheel spacers.

I have that same tire spec on my 88 sedan, 100% stock suspension and it has zero rubbing issues. If you're lowered you'll probably have to roll the fenders depending how much wheel travel there is.
