Help!! Rim Offset

hey guys im thinking of getting the Axis Milanos for my C230K sedan. Some1 had told me I would need an offset of about 25 to be able to drop about right on the tire in the front (cause i have the HR coilovers). BuT the milanos only come with :15, 35, 40, 47mm in the front and 20, 40, 45mm in the rear. What do you guys think i should do?. I want a nice drop with no gaps at all nothing really ghetto just a clean drop right on the tire. Plus i can get a good deal on these wheels

Get the 35 offset for the front and get a 10mm spacer. Is the size different for front and rear??

My carlsson coilover need an offset of 22 to get a maximum drop.

Yes, use the spacer to mess with the offset, ie to reduce the offset. Make sure u get the spacer from reputable brand like H&R.
