So if you were looking to have them stick out a little further, would you go with a higher offset or a lower offset?

lower, 35mm is what other people go with comfortably anyless than that you might have to do a lil more research to see what the most you can go is. If your lowered though, i would not do less of an offset. Also the width of the wheel is a factor too.

Moving the wheel out will chip up the paint the the rear fender all the more and look odd while moving them in will hit the reat wheel well. Look at the rear bottom of the fenderwell.

Check you clearances as there is little room to move the wheels in or out.

Michael20832 is asking what the offset of a stock wheel is, not what offset will fit. I believe it is 42mm. I will know later today.

42 is not the offset, it is the answer.
