YOU need to determine your ride height, your alignment specs, not some obscure or arbitrary reasoning. YOU need to go outside to your car, measure things, find out what other 17x7 wheels and their fitments you like, find out what offset they are running then tweak to your own preference. It's really not that hard.
FWIW, stock wheels are what? 17x7 +45? (or something in the mid-high 40s). An extremely common set up is 18x9.5 +38 all around. That is 25mm less inner clearance, but the outside edge is 39mm further out. Look how much room you have...

The stocks are +48.
That is interesting. So, those are 63.5 mm wider than stock. At +38 offset, the outsides are 41.75 mm further out. The insides are 21.75mm further in.
So, That's the same as pushing 17x7's out to a +6.25mm offset. That's past flush...? There's no way that's not gonna hit the fender at full travel.
Either way, a 17x7 is no more conservative than any other wheel at the offset limit. If you push it out, eventually it will rub under compression. The unused space on the inside is irrelevant. This will probably happen before it gets to flush. Flush for a 17x7 is +25 F +18 R at stock height. If not, if it doesn't rub at perfectly flush
at full bump, then my numbers are right there. I know the wheel pulls in under compression due to the suspension geometry. I know if I lower it, the wheel will pull in. The outside clearance limit at full bump is the same for everybody, regardless of wheel width, provided they keep the stock tire's outside diameter, and the stock geometry..
I will say again, If nobody knows, that's fine. I will measure it myself.
Full bump is the same for everyone, unless they've f*cked up their motion ratio or shock travel.
I'll probably buy the same offset all around and use hub centric spacers at the back. I hate spacers, but I want to retain the ability to swap front to rear as the tires wear, without re-mounting the tires.
