Anyone know of an agressive offset for the 97-01 Q45 Y33? Thanks!

Obviously an agressive offset isn't going to be tucked! Think something like +35 will do the trick.

I have 9" width wheels with 24mm offset. They're still tucked in. Need about another 10-15mm to flush with the fenders.

Is "agressive" different form correct?

Depends wether you consider wheels that are totally sunken in or flush with the fenders to be correct. Myself, I consider wheels that are flush with the body, creating a smooth look while having no negative effect, to be correct.

Thanks for all the replies guys!

Are you running 9" with +24 offset all the way around?

I need an offset that will tuck rim with slightly stretched tires becase I'll be running an air bag set up. I was thinking of running 19X10 rear and 19X9 front. Oh yeah, don't want custom fender flares, rolling the fenders is all I want to do. I'm not an offset expert but shouldn't I run a staggard offset? Lower in the front and higher in the rear? That's what I was running on my GS.

Again, thanks for the help

Yes, Dennis. I have 18x9 all around. One thing that I noticed about the Y33 Q45 is that its rear fenders aren't extended out as much as most of other RWD cars. It means that wiith equal width wheels and tires, the "flushnesses" are equal for both front and rear. So if you want to get a staggered set of wheels, the rear wheels would need to have a higher offset to compensate for the extra width.

Now that's how offset should be, nice-n-flush. Haha, I see a Tein box in the garage, lol.
