Default Need some offset recommendations for 15x9 and 15x7 wheels.

I'm planning on purchasing some Work Equip S2 wheels ... super deep dish style 3 piece rims... 15x9 for the fronts and 15x7 for the rears... i want the rear to have a deeper lip look than the front... and if not, then at least the same lip depth... what would you guys recommend for offset differences between the front and rear???

no... haha... i know it sounds weird but trust me... what i wrote is no typo... 15x9 in the front and 15x7 in the rear... i was thinking maybe the front would be greater by about 15-20 than the rear ones...

the tires i have on the car now are 225/50R15 in the front and 165/80R15 in the rear... i was hoping on getting these wheels (i think they are work equip 02 wheels) for drifting... i like the old school look and want that deep lip look but if you guys can recommend another wheel then any help is appreciated... so... any recommendations on the offsets??

Hey flat_tires....I think the work equip 02 wheels are very sexy wheels. I love old school wheel styles myself. I would of rocked those same equip 02 rims myself but i'm on a very tight budget. If you get those rims i'll be very jealous of you..
