Around 35 is standard, you can go more with work

I ran 16x8 et10 and it was fine but you have to roll arches and use stretch tyres.

I think et 0 will be that tiny bit to far, don't forget rolling the arches that much will need painting after.

The standard offset is ET55. On 4WS cars you need to be carefull that you dont get anything too aggressive or (as already said) you will have to do body work. IMO ET40 is about the limit you can go, even then you will catch a tab on the rear bumper that will need to chopped off if you are lowered or carrying a heavy load. I have ET45 Rota's with 215/45/17 tyres on my 5th gen and initially got some rubbing.

It simply needs to be trimmed (photos by cebul)

Cool. To have a look and see what you can get under your arches with out modification, measure the space between the outer edge of your wheel and the edge of the wheel arch
