what offset should i have for wheels if im buying the wide fenders for a hatchback s13, i dont know the size in mm of the fenders and quarter panels but i think... not sure that they were either 20mm or 35mm, what would you recomend

i found some sweet wheels i like but the offset is 35... is it fair to say that the offset is too big?

take wheels you like the fitment of on stock fenders, and either subtract offset or compensate lower offset and wider width for the difference in width to your new fenders

EX:

if you like the fitment of 17x9 +20 on stock fenders, you should run 17x9+0 with overfenders, but could also run 17x9.5 +6, etc..etc..
