17x7 offset for a flush look?

Looking into picking up some Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2s and have been wondering what offset to get. I want to get the tires flush with the fenders without rubbing. Any suggestions?

to get 17x8's to fit, when i did the measurements, youl have to get a 38 offset, and it would be best if you had aftermarket coilovers (with the narrow springs) with stock springs your only going to have about 5-10 mm of clearance from tire to spring.
On my 17x7.5 rims i run an et35 and am perfectly flush with the outisde of the fender. Doesnt poke, just looks propper.

Warning, you will rub if you put people in the back and go over a bump or through a dip fast.
