How the wheel sits relative to the car body is dependent on the offset in conjunction with the rims width. Asking for a specific offset without mentioning rim size doesn't paint a complete picture (same goes for the tire size).

An example that may give you an idea of where to base your judgment on which size to get is 15x6 +38 using 195/50 or 205/50. For the most part on a 6in wide rim +35 to +45 seems to be very street friendly and is for the most part standard. Now given that you mention you want to use a "normal" tire the ride quality will really depend on your suspension and have nothing to do with your tires.

This still belongs in wheels/tires. Probably why you haven't gotten any responses.
