Default HELP! Wheel and tire set up

So its tax season so that means new wheels and tires for my coupe. I have Bc Coilovers with adjustable top mount camber plates, wicked tuning rear camber kit in the rear. Im a little overwhelmed about making a decision on what size wheels I want. Im looking at 16x8 +20 or 17x8 +30 with a 5mm spacer. This car is my daily and currently the Mugen rep front lip is about 3 to 4 inches off the ground, so its really not too troublesome to drive and I would like to keep it that way as much as possible. So, my question is which would be the best option. I'm not wanting to be super hella flush bro status just something that looks good with out having to go too much lower or anything modifications. My fenders are already rolled so that is one obstacle down. Also, what tire sizes are best for the two size wheels. If anyone can give me some advice and maybe some pics of your ride with similar set up I would really appreciate it.

This is 16x8 +35 with 225/50/16's:



I had -1.5 degrees of camber in the rear, and I was rolled/pulled. Both of your options will sit the wheel further out from the body of the car, and unless you run a stretch tire or more negative camber... they're not going to fit.

What if I ran a 16x8 +25 with a 205 50 or 195 50 and like -2 or -3 degrees of camber is that still out of the question.

Both of those tires are considered a "stretch" on a 16x8 wheel. Will it fit, though? Probably will fit without too much of an issue.
