Which offset is better? positive or negative?

[kabal57]

hi again guys, got another bonehead question for you geniuses out there: <br>
I know the stock offset of the wheels on the celi is 39mm. however most of the volks that I am interested in come in either 35mm or 42mm. my question for you is this:
Which is the better choice? They are not too far apart from the stock offset either way, but if you had to choose between the two, which would you choose, and why?

I would probably choose the lower offset. The wider track probably looks better and probably somewhat performs better. (although if the offset goes too low and the width gets pretty wide...you could get wheels that stick out too far and look bad or rub if you're lowered)

Get the lower offset as it will increase your track and you have plenty of room on the celi.
