I'm on 40mm Spax springs sitting on 17" rims which are 7.5 the same width as the rs softspokes and is just about enough clearance for me front and back.

Hi, not sure on the offset but it did catch slightly at the front if I took a hard bend with a dip on the road but nothing major to worry about only rubbed the inner plastic slash guard.
