From everything I have seen on this forum, +38 would be the way to go. With the +44 offset you might have clearance issues with the tire and the spring perch.

Now this is right after wheeldude installed my rims and mounted my stock tires. And this is at a one inch drop on eibach prokit springs. No alignment, no camber bolts, nothing. It was a pretty ugly setup...

once you get an alignment and purchase correct tire size (245/40/17) which i did, it looks way better. i also noticed my springs were settling over time which was a plus.

Hello I'm going to buy some Rota grids for my car! 17's 9 inches wide should I go with 35 or 42 offset? Not planning on lowering the car anytime soon due to the harsh roads here in PA. So the main thing is I don't want to rub anything and don't want the handling to be disturbed. thanks!
