the offset depend son the rim width, as you are trying to get a certain 'backspace'
how much space you need depends on what tyre you run, and what size rim, since the sidewall will be the widest part.
on my KE15, i have 13x6" rim with +15 offset (90mm backspace), 186/60/13 hankook tyres, and i have about 5-8mm tyre to strut clerance.
your best bet... seriously... is to choose the tyre you want to run. if you know you want 15's, (and as it's a KE70, about 185/195 width), adn choose the profile to be the righ rolling diameter. get one of those tyres or find someone with one, get it mounted in any rim of the same width you want to run (6 or 6.5") and then physically put it on the car.
measure the backspace of the rim, and then measure the tyre to strut clearance... if you have 15mm gap between tyre and strut, you could reduce that to 10mm, and so add +5mm to offset for the rims...
it's hard to say exactly what rim to get without trying..
if you are buying a package from a tyre shop, see if they can lend you a mounted tyre on a known rim, and go from there.. bets way is to physically check..
hope this helps..
