Can anyone tell me how I can measure for offset clearance and tire clearance?

You should be fine. I am on a coupe that is running 18x8.5 with +35 front and +15 rear with rolled fenders and on coilover.

Really wow. Do you have side shot of your car with wheels upclose and did your fender developed flare by rolled fenders? What is your tire set up on front and rear? Thanks for replying my thread, it hard to find help on this forum.

You used 20mm spacers for the rear to make it really flush right?

When are you getting those new wheels man?

I don't really have any side shots but close to side shot. Here are some photo I have how the back look:



You can't really tell to much but if you actually look at the side wall a bit the fender actually ate a bit of it until I rolled it more lol.

I indeed used 20mm spacers for the rear to make it more flush. The lip of the wheels are flush to the fender line all around.

I have to wait till I finish school which is in June before getting new wheels. I plan on going 19x9 +30 front and +10 or +15 rear with stretch tires. I think that will be flush all around.

Where do you buy the spacer? It look pretty nice on your car. I am pretty curious if the 18x18.5 with +10 in the rear would work on Sedan, because I thought Coupe is usually better fitment than sedan, am I wrong?

Spacers can be ordered online. Go with either Ichiba V2 or Project Kics. I have Project Kics spacer which are better of the two but a bit more pricey.

18x8.5 +10 should be flush in the rear for the coupes but not so sure how the sedan is best bet is to get the wheels you want and lower the car then get a tape measure and measure the side of the wheel to the end of the fender. That is what I did to figure out what I wanted.

I've never heard of Project Kics, but damn they are expensive. Around $160 for two.

Ichiba are $115 for two. I have Ichiba 10mm spacers and I'm really happy with them.

Looks like the Project Kics don't need longer stud replacement though.

Bud4h, did you have to cut your stock studs to make the spacers fit?

You only have to cut them if your wheels don't have the holes in the back that allow clearance. if you get 25mm spacer you do not need to cut the studs but since i got 20mm I had to cut my studs shorter to make it work since my wheels had universal bolt pattern that didn't clear the original studs.
