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.

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 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
