IMO I think staggard is the way to go on a RWD car. 20 offset to me is way too low. Im not that good with offsets but I know for a fact that thats too low.

34 to 45 offsets are best for the 2IS.

20 is too low. You would need spacers, and that may cause wheel rubbing...

i wouldnt say that he would need spacers to clear the caliper, but the 20mm offset just sticks out too far. some wheels are made for bbk clearance and have offsets in the 15-20mm for example the g35/350z w/brembos need offsets that low and have plenty of wheels available.
