I would stick with stock offset and use spacers especially if your going to lower the car later on.

Why? You can easily use ET35 wheels, be lowered and experience no rubbing.

Offset you desire depends on wheels width.

If you use an 8.5" wheel ET 35 is about flush in front and close in the rear. If you want to also do a wider tire then 235 though you would want a higher offset (about 38 to 40) to do a 255 tire on a 8.5" wheel.
