Default Best Offset for 3 piece wheels

What do you guys think is the best offset for 3 piece wheels. I might doing some wheels soon. I'm curious as to what you guys would think. Is perfect with out stretching the tire to much.

1) do you wanna roll your fenders?
2) is your car lowered? are you planning on lowering? If so how low?
3) do you want a flush look or a tuck look?
Do you have a 350 or a 250? Depending on which model you have you will need different disks so that your wheel clears your brakes.
Also it doesnt really matter if its 1 piece, 2 piece or 3 piece. Offsets are offsets, doesnt matter which type of wheel you are getting.

There is also a very helpful thread up, regarding your questions.
If you cant find your answer there, you can always ask them questions. They are very quick with responses.

pretty much what IS25Heaven said...

also what about the width of the rims? what do you consider a stretch? how big tires do you wanna run? what profile tire size do you wanna run?

the bigger the rim, the lower the profile, the crappier the ride... what about your suspension? you wanna run low? gonna have to make it stiff so you dont rub on big dips/bumps in the road... ever see some of the guys here running low with aggressive offsets? ever look at their front fenders lookin all ghetto?

so much to consider

width of the wheel plays a huge factor in the offset. without knowing the width we'll just be throwing meaningless numbers at you.
