If you decide to go that route, you can run an array of offsets. The SVT wheels (EAP or otherwise) all have a 49 mm offset which will obviously work great. Those came with 215/45/17 tires from the factory so with that combo you shouldn't rub... even if you tried. I'd say to be safe anything between that 49 - 40 offset should work without issue. Anyone else step in if you think otherwise but that would be my unprofessional .$02.

Hope that helps.
this is very helpful...what if i keep suspension stock what are the best options for offsets?
