confused about wheels/wheel offset
i have read the stickies and have searched around on forums, and im confused about what wheels/ wheeloffset to go with. i want my wheels to sit flush with the wheel wells or tucked inside in the back. i want to go with 17in rims with wider tires/ rims in the back. and i want to go with a rim that has a deep lip in the back and almost none up front. i also want to have as wide of tires as i can in the back without rubbing on anything. it seems like everywhere i look someone has a different answer. what size wheels/ tires is everyone running? i was looking at the Greddy Gravity wheels at enjuku racing, but i dont know which offset to buy is seems like they dont have the right size. they come in.
17" x 8.5" +29
17" x 8.5" +38
17" x 9.5" +26
17" x 9.5" +38
18" x 8.5" +25
18" x 8.5" +35
18" x 9.5" +15
18" x 9.5" +25
18" x 9.5" +35
Theese will be goin on a s14. which offset would everyone reccomend out of theese. Thanks a lot in advance for everyone that can help me.

im more into having the same width wheel front and rear, but thats just my 2c.
::edit:: i just searched and saw the wheels, holy shiet those are beautiful!
get the 18x9.5 +15
those wheels deserve as much space on your car as you can get, and the oh so sexy sunken face.
heres a pic for those who dont know what they look like

The name of the game is to not run a spacer.
Its so pointless running 17x9.5 +26 with a 20mm spacer. Get a different wheel with better offset.
8.5 is a COROLLA width not S14, pussies.
Having only the rear rim with lip and the front with none is for pussies. I ran 3" of lip FRONT and Rear.
18x9.5 +15 front and rear on S14 with 225 F and 245 R FTW.
