16x7" wheel - 40 or 45 offset?

If one were to purchase a 16x7" wheel and had a choice of 40mm or 45mm offset, which would be best? I'm thinking 40mm would give the best strut clearance...

I didn't see a 40 or 45mm offset in the FAQ for a 7" wheel. Thanks!

Your best bet is 40mm. I had a 17x7 with 40mm ET and it cleared well.
