I like to know what widths and offsets people are riding with that type of setup. And if anyone know the below setup that would be the greatest!

i have 30mm rears on my project car and i was wondering the same. personaly, i'm probably gonna run 17 by 9 advans with the lowest offset i can find and some spacers. anything wider or bigger and tires are gonna start running too high

take a size you like on stock fenders, figure out how to make it sit out 20mm front, 30 rear

for example, if you like 17x9 +20 all around, youd have to run 17x9 +0 front and -10 rear

or you could have a wider wheel to take up some of the width

Correct me if I am wrong but front 18x8 +27 fronts and 18x9 +30 rears would end up fairly flush while clearing the outer fender. I am not ready to get these yet but I would like to know what I want...maybe I will go wider wheel I dont have good coilovers yet so they wouldn't probably fit right now anyways

with those offsets I think you can go a little wider. or it would make for a nice tuck in the back when you drop it.

That's not even flush on stock fenders.

whats the point of wide body if you don't fill it up with bigger tires. its useless to take wheels that fit under stock fenders and put spacers on them just to make them fit. do some research to make sure you can get the right tires the first time
