Yeah, you have to be more specific...WHICH wheel are you talking about?
And it's not JUST the offset. It's the disk setting. You need to make sure you get a HIGH DISK...and in most cases, that means less lip...there are some wheels that just have really deep lips by design (like the Garson's)

I have a set of Dronell Type 5 3 piece wheels with the TT calipers. I still have some space between the spokes and the calipers with this wheels.
On a RWD car, the optimal wheel set up is a staggered one, meaning wider in the rear than in the front. With a three piece wheel, you are able to achieve this and have a high disk in the front (about 1.5 inch lip) and a reverse lip on the rear with about a 3.5 inch lip. I ll upload some pics this weekend so i can show you.
If you can get me a pic of the wheel and the offset, i can probably tell you if its going to work or not
