Ok guys, i'm looking at some VOLK TE37 Wheels 17x9 (for front) and 17x10 (for rear) but i was wondering if I would need a specific offset to get FLUSH with the fenders after the 50 and 30mm are on. Please let me know! THANKS!

Get the lowest possible, and use negative camber to fit them in..

Would help if u list the availible offsets for the rims.

im looking at the 17x9 and 17x10, but if i need to use smaller in the front i will, i just really want to use 10 in the rear.

Find the offset/width of your stock wheels. Take a measuring tape and find out how much further you want them to extend to be flush with the stock fenders. Use an offset calculator to find the appropriate size/offset. Make sure you pick sizes that extend 30 and 50mm more than your original measurement.

Pretty simple stuff. If I were you I would get the fenders on first. You don't want to order wheels first and have them sunken in or extending past the fender.

well since i dont know how to find my offset, do you happen to know the offset for a 1992 S13 hatch SE, or do i have to find the offset for the S14/Z32 that im doing my lug/brake conversion from?
