I tried looking this up but couldn't really find anything, sorry if I missed it.

Put short and simple, I have the stock SE rims and my car will be lowered on Tein S-tech's with KYB GR2 shocks. I want to know what offset to get in order to make the wheels flush with the body (front and back). If that's impossible with my setup, what would be my best bet? Thanks in advance!

you have to tell us the width of the wheel in order for us to tell you what offset you needIt depends on alot of other things also like what camber settings you want to run and what size tires you think of getting

^^^^ I have the stock 15x6 SE wheels on my car with just stock size tires if that helps. I would like to keep the camber to a minimum, the less the better for me. With my teins I think the camber will be offset by a degree or so, I'd like to keep it around there

If youre keeping the same wheels that are already on the car, just measure from the wheel to the fender, and thats the thickness of spacer you need.

With that said, I'll be your need a HUGE (bolt on) spacer to make 6" +40 wheels flush...

Are you just spacing out your stock wheels or getting new wheels? If its the first, just measure. If its the second, let us know some ballpark sizes for a more accurate suggestion.

to flush it you'll need a 2" spacer~. 50mm~. that's pretty aggressive. might be dangerous. better off buying wheels off another car if you're on a budget

depending how vigorous you drive your car, i wouldnt trust spacers unless you got extended bolts, which even then might be a risk. id rather just go for different rims imo
