there is no point. the point is it doesn't matter what rim tire combo YOU think is right for my car. You don't know my car. I know MY car. so I'll put whatever combo I want. Therefore, I want a 38-42mm offset, 17x7 or 7.5 rim w/ a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

That's what I'm trying to tell you, it can take a fast corner without rolling over like your grandma's Buick. Just because something is low doesn't mean it still has body roll. Something that's been lowered that much normally has coilovers anyway, which, as a rule, equates to stiffer spring rates and much better damping. That, along with bigger sway bars, and various other suspension goodies make that car and others like it handle very flat.

You are correct. and if YOU remember correctly. All I did was ask why. Which you still haven't answered.

the reason WHY I want to put those rims on my car with those settings, is because that is the closest to stock settings to keep the geometry of the suspension.

Only had a chance to ride in it for a day so far, but it feels good. I have to drive the Track/Kick cause they're tearing our road apart getting ready to pave.

well my point was you can run lower offsets wheels even on fwd cars w/o and ill effects to suspension geometry and it'll make your car look better. But, you just wanted to say i don't know what i'm talking about... when i do. That's all just wasn't sure if you were aware of that.

Wrong place only (few) care about such things here.
