looking at some 17x8 5zigen fn01r-c's and can't figure out whether to run the 35 offset or the 48 offset...
which would you guys recommend?
currently on TRD/Progress coilovers with a little less than a finger gap...

personally.. i think 48 offset is too sunken in. i have 18x8 with 35 offset.. and it's perfect.
HOWEVER.. and this is a big HOWEVER.. make sure you get the right tires.
i had General Exclaim UHP tires and i guess their "shoulders" are a bit thicker.. and i was rubbing on a TRD drop. I switched out the tires to Kumho ecsta spt, and wayyy less rubbing.. but i still rub on extreme dips.
