this will depend on your wheel & tire size. what sizes do you have? also, someone has started a similar thread which may help with your decision:
https://g35driver.com/forums/wheels-tires/205511-ultimate-wheel-offset-thread.html

i had this same question a month ago when trying to decide on spacers. if you have some time, you can scan through the classified to see the wheels people are selling - they'll usually say whether the setup is flush or tucked (you can search for these keywords). take a look at their wheel size, tire size, & offset then compare it to your setup. you can also look through the 'check out my wheels' section assuming it still exists

this page is helpful when comparing wheel sizes:

I'd say you can pull off a +10 all around with a 9.5 front and 11 back.

i wana do 19s or 20s with coilovers, but it seems like if you go THAT low with coilovers that u gotta do 19s. and ive never known anything about offsets and i dont wana go buy wheels and have them stick out to where i can go as low as i want.

what does the number in after the + mean? i know its mm but from what? thanks guys

thanks bigc, so like i said i think the lower the number even with a positive offset will be awesome and give the biggest lip?

low offset with wide wheels will give you a bigger lip -- 20x11 with +10 offset

high offset with narrow wheels will give you a smaller lip -- 20x8 with +40 offset

so a +25 offset on a set of 20x8.5 and 20x10 will give a staggered setup with a decent lip in front and a bigger lip in rear?

i've got a 20x10 in the rear with a +25 offset and my rear lip is huge, just under 5 inches.

if you intend to lower the car aggressively i strongly suggest that you do not go any lower than a +20 offset.
