25mm. You may rub though but it'll give you the appearance your asking for.
20mm is probably the safest and cleanest look though.

yea i tried 30 mm today and that was horribly off felt like it stuck off the car a good 2.5 inches. so im guessing 20 would be best? how do you achieve that look then? coilovers with neg. camber i assume? theres no way with some spacers?

Your tires are too fat for a 9inch wheel. A 225 would provide a little stretch and allow your wheel to poke.

Check out some of PCasey or Doggy's threads/pics. Apparently they know what they're doing. :P
