Default quick question on mb wheels

So as of right now, I'm wheel shopping and I have narrowed down my preferences to two wheels: 5zigen fn01rc and MB Motorsports Weapon. The price for the MBs is really enticing, they look decent, and, from what I have found through the forums, they seem to be of pretty good quality. My only hesitation is the offset since it is 46mm with an 8 inch width wheel.

So my question is do you think I would have rubbing issues when dropped on h-techs with this wheel in 17x8 46mm offset riding on 225/45/17 tires?

i highly doubt that you'd have rubbing issues with that.

Well I'm also looking for a more flush look. And I don't know if that offset is going to make the wheels look sunken in.

it won't be as flush as possible, but it'll be better than stock, obviously. i think like +38mm would be more flush for 17x8s.

I don't show any issues with that offset and tire. If you are worried about it with the drop go with a Falken Tire, Falkens tend to run narrower than most other tires, (except for the 615's)
