should be fine. the sportlines wont lower your car that much.

well when i had 17's i was just barely above the tires in the front and in the rear, the lip was tucking the top 1/2in. of the tire. thats of course because of bags. when i had coils, i was lowered about 2 1/2in w/ konis

you'll be fine with sportlines and most tires in that size IF your car is bouncing and bopping all over the road...
in other words, make sure you have proper damping on those springs, not blown stockers.

Offset will determine where the wheels are positioned laterally in the wheel wells. If you've got too low an offset, you will be hitting the fenders in the back and cutting up your tires. Basically, anything lower than about 35 may likely cause problems.
