ok well for starters i have a 98 green s14. the car is used for drifting and daily driving. i would like the rim to be flush with body of the car and not require any rolling or pulling. The rim that i have been looking at is the gold advan super version

the options for that rim are as fallows

-17x8 wheel size, and 48 or 38mm offset
-17x9 wheel size, and 45, 35, or 24mm offset
-17x10 wheel size, and 24mm offset
-18x8 wheel size, and 48 or 38mm offset
-18x9 wheel size, and 45, 35 or 24mm offset
-18x10 wheel size, and 24mm offset

i am still not final with this rim selection so please feel free to suggest other rims.

the car is the oem green sorry no picture

If you want the wheel to sit flush with the fenders, the only real way you'll be able to do it is by having your fenders rolled. By not rolling your fenders your tires will rub. Basically perfect fitting wheels are x9+0 and x10+0. But it depends on what you're looking for really...

so the closest way to be to flush would be to have the lowest offset?

honestly... look at the threads on wheel fitment.
You cant get flush without a roll, as there is a small lip the prevents you front getting flush.

Not necessarily... Just go to the wheel fitment thread and you'll see a bunch of wheels with the specs, and alignment specs.
