Default Best way to get wheels flush?

Ok guys need more input. I have bbs rs-gt's and want the wheels to poke out more. I got quoted $1400 for new outer lips rebarreling these 2 piece wheels.

2nd option would be Ichiba v2 or h&m spacers
15mm front and 20mm rear for under $300


They're 8.5 front and 9.5 Reagan's +45 offset

the best way to get wheels flush is to buy actual flush wheels with the size and offset you want.

if you can afford it, go with new lips, if you want to do it on a budget then get spacers

what chris said, too

you have 4 options:
1. buy new wheels with the right offset
2. buy spacers
3. rebarrel
4. body work your fenders to narrow them to make it look flush

Only you can decide which is best for you/your budget.

I say rebarrel with some fat lip. But you say it a two piece? So most like you'll need both inner and outer. Unless there selling you a solid barrel.

a two piece wheels only consist of a face and a solid barrel. Its the 3 piece that needs inner and outer.

You can make a 2 piece into a 3 piece. Instead of the solid one barrel your making it into two piece barrel. There for it now a 3 piece is what im saying getting a outter and inner barrel. Im saying that cause what he said here dont make sense.
