It depends on what you want to do with the wheels, i.e. how aggressive you want to go. The OEM 16s, for example, is +50 but I doubt if you want the wheels to be that recessed in the wheel well. Do you want the same at all 4 corners or staggered? You would need 2 different offsets (one for front and one for rear) depending on the rim width.

Read this for more suggestions/explanations. If you have additional questions afterwards, come on back.

Same in what sense, how flushed it is to the fender? When I said 4 corners the same, I meant the wheels being the same spec. Some members like to do this in order to rotate the wheels. You are going to run staggerred so you won't have this choice. As for balance (you mean when the tires are mounted right?), you should be fine at whatever offset. Wheel balance is independent of how they will fit.

like neo said, what you stated is unclear, what do you mean by same? balance, what balance?

the guide i posted up, it makes the wheels flush as much as it can to the outside of the fender for better looking. that's what most people look for anyway

wheel balance has nothing to do with offset and size

and for offset, try to read my guide first to get some ideas. dont' get "any offset" you want, you will regret
