What offset?

I was wondering what offset would be recommended for a set of 30" Motorway muddies on 15x7 sunnies? Would bog standard be good enough, or should I get something different?
Going onto SWB WT with 2'' spring lift only at this point.
I have had a search, the word "offset" appears in just about every other thread
Cheers,
Paul

I'd want more offset to stop springs rubbing so
-10mm or -13mm would be good....
you should be able to buy new rims for aroung $50-60 with these offsets.
-25mm is also good for extra stability but creates more load on wheelbearings and the angle of sweep on steering may cause other clearance issues. these are also harder to find.
-25 is also outside the 50mm offset restriction when both wheels are considered.

The bigger offset is worth it, with -28 you can feel the difference. You will also need to cosider flares too.

Your standard CSA type steel rim will be fine, once you flip it
Long live 7 inch offset rims

how much heavier are 8" rims?
[Edit: also, how heavy are mongrels?]
its not so much a problem offroad, but any more weight on the bitumen is a bit hard on std brakes..
my 31x10s on 15x7 rims feel almost twice as heavy as my 215/75 muddies on std 5.5" rims.
on the road, i know my cookies are heaps better braking-wise.

Just looked at some old photos of Ryans zook, i they look like -28. Slightly more than mine, which are -25. Slightly off topic, anyone in Newy had rims reversed, i been lookin at it. Promac apparently do it for $70 a rim, just wondering if anyone up this way has looked into it.

Ive seen plenty of the little purple junk before.
I got 15x8 too, so my offset will be different to 15x7 as well.
