not my thing, but here goes since you asked.

the stock rims have an offset of F +55 mm, R +65 mm. the closer to zero offset, the further out the rim goes- in other words, puts the rim out and more even with the wheel well's edge. at zero offset, the centreline of the rim and hub face are equal- but that just looks plain stupid with the rim sticking out further than the body of the car. Plus, it would add more stress to the hub.

i hope this helps you decide which is more aggressive.

Thank you.
It was clear on my mind, the only thing that confused me is one rim is one inch wider than the other one but as a higher offset...12MM more flush but one inch (25.4MM) more narrow....So I assumed 17X8 + 47 will sticks out more?

Since no one answered the question, I will interject. They will look the exact same from the outside (same aggressiveness) The 8+47 would be the natural choice however, since it actually is more aggressive performing as it will accommodate more rubber. The added 1" will just be to the inside.

Both wheels will looking 100% the same from the outside. They both will stick out the same. The added 1 inch in width is 100% all on the inside only.

Also worth mentioning these are narrower than ap2 rear wheels. Look for some 17x9 +45 and they will be much more aggressive and fit a bigger tire and function better.

or.... Will They Fit.

Just plug numbers in and it'll tell you how much further out/in/whatever different wheels will sit.
