so the lower the offset say from 49 down to 45 the more further away from the arch the wheel becomes, or is it the wheel wideness the is the problem not the offset

7.5" wide wheels. At 49mm offset they may be too close to the inside of the arch. I don't know the exact figures but I'm sure it would be too close.

so 49 is the best target.... this 7.5 ur talking about ian whats this size about the bolt ?, also i will be looking at lowering spring tommorow its only 40mm spring u can use on 17s am i right ?

Outer.

Go for 49 unless they're wider than 7.5 in which case you might need 45 to bring them further away from the inside.
