Lowest Wheel Offset??

[RCC]

I'm going to change the wheels on my 2000 Protege LX in the spring (Maybe sooner if I find a good deal). What is the lowest offset any of you guys are running with a 15" wheel? Stock is 45et but I'd like something that sits out a little more. Picture would be great too.
Thanks

im running 40mm on my 17x7's...

I was running 17x7.5 +45...looks flush.

Offset depends on the width of the wheel and the tire size you get.

I'll have to co-sign on that. I had 17x7 40mm on my 2000 Protege and it was completely flush. It depends on tire size as well. I would rub slightly with 215/40/17 so I switched to 205/40/17 with no rubbing at all.

slight rubbing on the front left when it's fully compressed.
