while running overfenders...and using a 15x9 wheel...what offset would give you that nice flush look...i like work equips and they come on all offsets pretty much.so, wheel fitment warriors...what offset will work?...im thinking in the negatives...-10 -25 im not sure on that...im a fitment idiot im afraid.

let me give you some info too.the car in question is s13, hatch.will be lowered with coilovers, and i dont like to have to run tons of neg camber to make wheels fit.(ie ridiculous looking)im just curious, i havent ordered parts or anything like that. this is just a possibility im thinking about lately.

15x9 -33

you should make the car fit wheels, not wheels fit the car.

i think he was talking about this auto-jedi statement you made right here.which doesnt mean much at all, seeing as how i may change the car itself and would have to buy wheels to accomadate such change. your statement could be taken as either/or and i called you an OG in a sarcastic manner ...so he said hey, i think he was joking...i dont care either way. i just wanted a # and i got it...thanks a bunch

Who makes a x9 wheel with a -33 offset? Wouldn't you rather have a larger width wheel?

Really though a 9in wide wheel will fit under stock fenders. I tucked a 17x10 in the front of my s14, and the wheels were flush with a small roll. If you are running 50mm over fenders you should be thinking of 10+ width wise.
