Default 3DR 17" Alloys Offset & Tyre Size - Help!!!

Hey Guys.

3DR with 17" x 8" and Coilovers fitted.

No or very minor arch trimming (very minor), prefer none.

Two questions based on the above.

1) offset recommended.
2) tyre size recommended.

Cheers.

In a perfect world I would trim but not this car.

I reckon you'd just about get away with ET 35 and 215 (215/40/17) on the back
Dependant on ride height and how you set up the damping stiffness of course.
