Default What offset for 17x9 rims

Hi

Can somebody tell me whats a good offset to have for 17x9" rims? The car is lowered on Eibach springs, so will I need spacers or can I get an aggressive offset so the rims are pushed out a little and still not have any rubbing when going around sharp turns?



My tires will be 225/40/17 if that helps too

I had 17x7.5, on factory suspension, and it rubbed with 215/45/17 if I hit a dip.

i temporarily ran a 205/50 on a 17x8 (on my srt4) and that was uber gay.... a 225/40 on a 17x9 will look absolutely horrific..
