The perfect offsets?
I`ve already screwed up my fenders and don`t want to do that again. A crappy shop rolled the rear fenders and cracked the paint although they told me it "might" happen. They also told me that my 18x8 48 offfset fronts would be fine. Nope. pulled the fender out. I`m gonna get the fenders fixed and start over. Going to get some customs this time. 17x8 with 225`s on the front and 17x9 with 255`s on the rear. I`m lowered on pss9`s and don`t want to go any more -camber then the UK specs. The bumper tab has been moved. I don`t really want to roll the fronts. What would be some safe offsets that still look fairly flush? Thanks

Safe and flush w/o a roll don't go together. I have 8's +55 on the front (not flush) with about a finger gap and I don't rub. I do have my fender liners cut though, you can do this in like 5 min with a dremel tool pm me if you want instructions although it's pretty straight forward.
I have 9's +65 in the rear w/ a 265 and they never rubbed, I also have 9s +55 and they never rubbed with a 255 series tire
Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply. The old wheels/tires rubbed holes in the front liners so I think I can figure out where to cut them My rears are already rolled so a 55 should be good to get that "fairly" flush look. The fronts: what the heck is there to roll anyway? That tiny lip? I think a +55 all around might do it...

I love those wheels man, can't believe you are selling them. My SSRs at 18x9 +55 sit fairly flush all around so yea the rears should be fine. The fronts at 18x8+55 sit in a bit but it sounds like that is what you want to be safe

that little "lip" can get you up to 30mm clearance.
