I have a 45 offset on a set of 17". The lower the offset, the more brake clearance you get. Hence I have great clearance on my 4 pots.

The downside is that since my car is lowered, I get a bit of rubbing from the outside of the arches with more than two people in the car and if I hit a dip in the road quickly even by myself.

I haven't had the suspension checked, but I didn't notice any real detrimental effects. They've been on for 2 years aswell.
