By highest offset do you mean lowest? IE further out toward the fender lip...I surely hope so. How does the +8 fit? That is a relatively low offset, the size of the wheel is also a factor as a 6.5 inch wide wheel w/ a +8 offset is equivalent to a 9 inch wide wheel with a +38 offset.

In order to tell you what will fit tell me what the width of the wheel is that is a 8mm offset, I assume that is the wheel on it now. You can probably fit some 16X8 +0s on it no problem, look up sportmax wheels.

If you want it to fit just like that wheel then you can fit a:

7 +33

8 +58

9 +83


However you can probably fit a:

7 -25

8+0

9 +25

With no problem at all (and it'll look way better!). Sportmax makes a 15X8 and 16X8 +0 for around 400 dollars that will look nice on your car.

WishIHadaSilvia is giving good advice. You can probably get additional info and examples here: http://www.4age.net/ (if you didn't already know). Just check the forums.
