Just in theory, with a 10.5" wide wheel, what would the highest offset possible be that wouldn't cause problems with fitment, front and back? Of course, I don't mean with the fenders, but whatever it's called nearer to the center of the car haha. Any help appreciated.

Edit: Maybe I should revise: would 10.5 +45 be able to fit? Not that I necessarily want to run that.

You have the weirdest questions yo. I have no clue on what's the right answer for this. But I'll assume anything higher than stock offset can cause trouble? I don't think I've ever seen an offset higher than 42 tbh lol

Lol I know I do haha
Well, I'm planning on running different size spacers in the front and the back and just getting 10.5 +45 or +42 all around.
But someone has ran 10.5 +42 on the AC?

I'm thinking about running spacers to make it +35 front and +30 rear, I'm just not sure if that would cause problems.

Edit: Here's what it would look like with 10.5 +30

The wheel would sit in .67 inches farther than stock.

Did he run that in the front, too?

Edit: Because I'm mainly concerned about the front. 10.5 +35 would sit in .87 inches more than stock.

Yeah, I just looked his up. But wouldn't the inner wheel well clearance be the same front and back, or no?

Yeah but 10 +40 is the same inset as 10.5 +35, so I would assume it would work in the front as well. But do you know forsure that inner well clearance is same front and back?

I don't know for sure. But it should be the same, the only reason we go with less aggressive offset in the front is fender clearance not inner well

Alright, that sounds right. Thanks for help again. Now I just gotta decide on the wheel I want.
If worse comes to worse, I just buy a bigger spacer and go from there.

Edit: Actually one more question, with 10.5 +35 front, rolled fenders and camber from coils will be sufficient correct? With stretched tire of course.

You have 10.5 front! I think Vossen wheels are light, but I'll have to double check.

Yeah that's fine as long as it looks good :p

Edit: The stock wheel weight is 25.5 and the new wheels are 27-28. Is that good or meh?
