I said that "Generally ou want to run the closest offset to stock as you can to fit what tires you can run without rubbing." Just said it differently

The width of the wheel determines the width of the tire your able to run. In general its always better to have a wider wheel than a skinner one. This has been discussed alot on another forum and the general concensus is that a A heavy wide wheel will always be better than a light skinny one.

For Max performance, You want the smallest lighetstt wheel that will fit over your rotor, that is as wide as possible without rubbing the dampers or fenders, and that doesn't unduly stress the wheel bearings. Also the widest tires that you can get int her that doesn't rub under extreme cornering.
