I cant give you a deffinate size as many people like different sizes but i can help you to understand offset. the offset is the measurement of the mounting surface from the center of the barel. back spacing is the distance from the mounting surface to the back of the wheel. so if you measure the back spacing and you know the rim width you can get the offset from this chart.

also you can use this tire and wheel calc to play around with different offsets. and compare them to stock or another known size
