The Kosei's have a suck offset. Its like +43 and it gets VERY tight in the back with the A-arm. They fit, but honestly a set of spacers would help the track. I honestly don't think 1/2 an inch matters all that much, but the Koseis are cheap enough that it doesnt matter. I don't know what the hell you're asking about the offset, every wheel is different.
It doesn;t seem like you did any homework on this, you just want to be told what to buy. Do some legwork.

Rep Power: 231 ....yeah... idunno what the hell i was talking about with the offset either hahaha
anyways, youre right i totally forgot about the offset of the wheels and i'm too damn lazy to do "legwork". figured people would give me feedback so that i wont have to try 20 different size/offset wheels before i find one that best suits the car. i guess what i'm looking for is the perfect offset for...i guess 16x7's so that they stick out as far as possible without rubbing against the fender. idont wanna run with spacers, so i'll forget about 7.5's.
