Default What 3door Cosworth wheel offset 17"/18"

Arite chaps, I fancy some new wheels for my 3door Cosworth, ive trimmed the rear archs back and was wanting to know the best offset for wheels, ive been looking at some with Et37, would these sit to far in the arch? I dont want it to look like a American muscle car

Default offset

ive been thinking about this myself .i was wondering if i just kept a 15 inch wheel is it possible to have big enough offset to let wheels out flush with outside of arch with the use of coilovers for to stop so much travel and prevent wheels catching arches
