What off set to go with on some 17x9?

I am thinking of going with some RPF1's on the evo and was going to do 17x9 but am unsure of what off set to go with? I know that Mike wants me to go with +25 and I saw that Matt D went with +22 but I dont want to roll any fenders or have any clearance problems.. For tires I will be going with 255/40ZR17's star specs just so everyone gets the big picture.

Thanks in advance.

The money is the factor here.. I know that off set doesn't cost any extra but it's going to be some $ for the rims and tires..

Just wanted some opinions on it to see what would look the best.

+28, I had that on my Evo, perfect fit, flush with the fender, rubbed just a hair in the rear with Teins. Anything less than that and you'd have to pull the fenders a bit.

+28 sounds good. What was your tire size?

Re: What off set to go with on some 17x9?

I don't have any without the front wheels turned, but it was flush. They stuck out an inch in the front on my GSX, but the Evo has wider front fenders, hence the reason I kept them on there. They did look damn sexy on the GSX when the wheels were turned though.
