I don't knowfor sure but most seem to use lower offset than that to bring the wheels out slightly.
I think et40 was standard (but i'm a 2wd owner).
Hopefully one of the 4x4 boys will reply

7j would be ok, but the wheels would look skiny compared to a 7 1/2 j or 8j . offset et42 is 4x4 saff . Ideal size would be offset et35 or 37 7 1/2j.


On the front of my 3 door i went for 7j et30 so they didnt catch the arch.

On the rear i went for 8j et30 so they look fatter .
