what is the max offset and max width tires for 17x8? and also 17x7.5?

hi, does anyone here know what the max offset i can use for 17x8 wheels are without them actually going beyond the fender line?

e.g. 44mm? 42mm? 40mm?

and also what tires are used on the 17x8's without rubbing


and also the same info for the 17x7.5's

thank you for the time



i need the 17's because of the brake kit i'm using, otherwise i'd be on 15's
