You should aim for a 48 offset (or higher). anything lower and you'll rub the tires if the car is lowered.

Has a cool converter on too so you can work out what size tyres will give the correct rolling radius, etc.

thanks guys. so basicly since these are 48 offset they should run fine,if i do drop the car i plan on a 1.2 in the front and rear.would that cause a problem?

Use the calculator I provided - if you put in a different offset, watch what happens to the other numbers.
