Wanting to run a low offset but not sure how low I can go. I'm not wanting to roll or pull the fenders because its my daily. If its a real low offset will I need to run a spacer?
If u have pics of M's running low offset 20's or 19's, I would like to see some.

You will not be able to get a low offset without some work.
if you want plug and play with 20s the fronts can be as low as +30 and the rears as low as +35 with fat tire set up.
you may be able to pull off a little more offset if you stretch your tires.
if you drop your ride on air you can pull off the lower offsets +20 and lower.
you don't need a spacer for lower offsets. the spacer will push the wheel out more. If you run a higher offset (like stock +47 18s or +50 19s) than you can use a spacer to push the wheel out.
the lower the offset the more the wheel is pushed out.
M on the left has 20x8.5 high disc +36 w/ 245 tires lowered on JIC.
M on the right is running in the low 20s, I forget the rest of the specs... but you can see on air the camber allows for a lower offset...
