Help with offsets

What offset would be more ideal for my MCS.
Looking to pick up a set of these WORK XT7 wheel in 17x7.
I want to run 215/45/17 tires with out too much rubbing.
The offsets available are +47, +42, and +32.
What do you guys think?

+47 is the way to go. Worst case scenario is you change your struts down the road or go to a wider tire and need a small spacer.

^^ +1, always go for the higher + offset and just get spacers as needed.
