Tucking would depend on the offset of the wheel. If you have the wrong offset and you lower the car, you might experience rubbing...

Sorry, but I don't. When you bought the wheels, do you still have the boxes that came with it? If not, there could be something in the inside of the wheel that could tell you some info.

Somewhere between +40 and +45 should be ok.

i would only go about and 1.5 inches on the drop. 2 inches may be pushing it with your rims.
