Default Lowest offset that fits comfortably?

I have some spare Borbet t's in 16x7.5 which are lighter than the factory sport wheels. But they are ET 20 vs 41, yes I know these are for E28/30 fitments but has anyone run a lowered offset like this.

Not great for wheel bearing in a FWD but that doesn't apply here. Thinking main concern is bodywork and how low the car sits. Plan to lower the car an inch or so and swap out the coilovers from my 99 that my sister doesn't like as the roads where she lives are far too rough.

She would like the Bilstein Sports I have in the other car.
