First: Howdy and welcome to TRS.

Second: I can't see why your factory center cap can't be used but it could look mighty funny. Think 1.5in gap between the wheel and the cap or something. If it's what I'm thinking it is you'd just have to keep the factory lug-nuts.

Third: As for offset, that's basically how far under or out past the fender the wheel sets. To far either way and you run into problems. Tickets if too far out. (For not covering the wheel. They DO throw rocks.) And steering issues if you go too far in.

Fourth: If your going for the look I think you are with the different width tires, you might want to go with 2 different wheel widths. Like 15x6 up front and 15x8 out back or something. Unless you're going for subtle.

Hopefully someone can get some pictures of the look you're going for and tell you what they used to get there.

PS: I'm not sure this qualifies as "Urgent". Besides it'd probably get more attention in the "Wheels & Tires" section.
