Non-Fuchs offset question

Looking at wheels, I have a few options for 8 or 9x16 for my car with sc/RS flares. Can anyone shed some light on what might be the best compromise?

I can do 8x16 with 8mm positive offset

Or from another manufacturer I can choose ET0 on their 8x16 or ET+4 on their 9x16

Suggestions or opinions.....

Based on that, any suggestions on tire size?

The 16x8 et8 is close to the factory 8 which was et10.6. the 2.6mm probably makes it look a little better.

The 9 et4 might fit with a lot of neg camber and rolled fenders but I think it would be tight . OE 9 inch fuchs are et15. Here is a car in another thread with a 8mm spacer giving et7 so the wheels you are looking at would stick out another 3mm.

8s are a better choice I think. More tires to choose from in 225 section than 245 too

245 RE11s fit on 8s just fine.
