Lowest I've seen without much suspension work and fender work at all are +17s.

What widths, tires, and camber/alignment settings are you going to be running?

+1, there is more than just the offset that will affect how far the wheels stick out.

noob at 667 posts???

anyhow, with your stechs i think this should suffice on the conservative side:

19x9.5F and 19x10.5R +24 offsets all around
