Raceline Renegade 8 on 2nd Gen??

So Ive been looking around at a lot of black aftermarket wheels. I finally found one that I like and seems to have the correct amount of offset and Backspace. I like that the stock wheels sit flush with the wheelwells and have been looking to recreate that w/ an aftermarket wheel. My question is what wheel would fit better a 17x9 with 0(zero) offset and a 5" backspace OR the 17x9 with a +6mm offset and 5.25" backspace????
Heres the link to the wheel with the listed measurements:

Thanks

I'm running Raceline Monster wheels, 17"x9" with 4.5" backspacing. Mine do stick out from the fender edge, just a bit. I like it. Here is a picture:





Oh, the tires are 305 70 17 Nitto's.

Thanks JPR! Great looking Rig by the way. Thanks for posting the pics. I wonder if the 17x9 with the 5" back space might tuck in just a bit more. Let me know what you think.

Thanks guys.... Yeah I do think 17x9 with 5 inchg back spacing would tuck nice. Of course the tire size will come into play. Right now my tire size is equivalent to 34's. They don't rub any where at all. But I wanta go back to a true 35"x12.50" tire next. They will rub corning sharply when on uneven ground; it rubs the fender on the rear at the mid and outer edge. If the ground is flat, no rubbing. Barely. But like I said, my current 305 70 17 Nitto's don't rub at all.
