well from reading a lot in the forums i will not use staggered wheels but would like to run 17x8 or 8.5 all around. still planning on getting the advans but the lowest offset is 31 and im afraid it wont fit or should i save $400 more for the advan tcII which has a lower offset available+25. also the coilovers im planning on getting requireds a +38 offset on a 6.5 inch wheel or lower offset. im going crazy doing all this research. PLEASE HELP! also i will get the gold color.

Well i know this for sure : 1.5" (to get to desired 8" over the 6.5") is taken in half so you will add ~.75" on each side. THe lower offset is 7mm closer to the center and will push it out that much. 7mm is not equal to .75" so I think you will most likely need a little lower offset (wheel spacers are no no).
