I would estimate about 10.5" with a +50 offset.

I (just for a few miles) ran a 10" wheel with a offset of +43 without any issues.

It looks really cool, but everything else is a negative...

I have a M35 and out cars have odd offset front to back. Ultimately unless I split up rim sets which most places wouldn't do I just had to custom order my rims. I went with 20x9.5-45 on all 4 looks perfect

What exactly were the negatives? Could you give details please?

Looks perfect, but what's your experience driving with the fronts? Do you have more pics showing how it's poking out?

Will 19X10 and 38 offset fit on the front? ...no poking out and full turn(no mod)? The only reason I want something this big on the front is because the rear comes with deep concave and the front does not look symmetrical to the back, so I want to put the rear wheels on the front as well...as long as it doesn't degrade the ride that much; although I can't really understand how a wide wheel will degrade as long as it doesn't rub.

I currently run a 20x10 +38 all the way around with no rubbing and full turn. They do poke a little though.

Keep in mind that the second picture is on the lift with the suspension hanging. They tuck in a bit more when the suspension is loaded.

If the front sticks out you can get the front 2 wheels milled from 38mm to 42mm.

I did this to the rear of my car so that I could run the 285/30 without rubbing.

any side pics of the front, I would like to see how much they stick out.

It really depend on what suspension you are running too.
I am running 9.5 with +24.
and 10.5 with +29

I am running air BTW. If you are thinking about doing air, my rear set up is the closest you can get without any mods..

Thanks for the pics. Front looks nice with the fat lip. :dblthumb:

But the wheels just stick out too much for me. I like to have my wheels tuck. My rear wheels are flush with the fender lip after I got them millled (no camber). No rubbing even with the 285/30

Are you pulling your fenders or doing body work?

Because with the #'s you posted the wheels will stick out. :ohno:

Did they stick out? Did you drive the car with 4 people in it?

Because looking at your avatar you have lots of camber front & back. Maybe body work, camber & small tires.

The question here is how wide without any work done to the car.

20x10 et25 wheels should stick out a good 1/2"- 3/4" or more.

Any photos with your 20x10 setup? I am getting weary of the 20x10 +25 and may just get +40 and run spacers if I decide to push the envelope.

Depends on how stretched of a tire you want. David was able to put on his rear wheel up front with no issues.

Im not looking to do much of any stretching i want a near stock fitment with some camber and flush fit and from what i have seen the way to go is 40 but I see plenty people go with +25 with no issue. My idea of +40 is I can just plus spacers if I want to push it out.

I'm lowered on 20x10 42et and the wheel is even with the fender.

Adding 17mm will only make it stick out.

Maybe his type of wheel has a low disk but it's still a 25et.

My avatar is after all of my body work and yes there was camber at that time after I switched my setup and went to a 20x10 with 0 offset. You can run a 20x10 with a 20 offset with no issues with four people in the car and that was when I was lowered on eibach springs had no issues and there was no camber and I ran a 255/30/20 for a tire
