It doesnt factor in the tyre size i want to run which plays a big difference on the front of the 2IS.

How much more or less aggressive is a

18x10 +18
vs
18x9.5 +15

I guess will the 9.5 +15 poke out more than the 10 +18 ?

Thanks!

I am going to buy these wheels here soon and just need to know if these offsets will work or what would be the best offset......? I will be also be lowering it with springs or coilovers as well as rolling fenders if needed. And what would be the best tire to run with this application.....? Thanks.

20x9 Vossen VVS-078 +25 or +38
20x10.5 Vossen VVS-078 +30 or +45

well it would probably be about 3mm more agressive.
10" is roughly 12mm wider than than 9.5"
cut that in half because it is split on both sides of the wheel, meaning a 9.5+15 would be 10+21, now you were asking which is more agressive.
9.5+15(10+21)
or
10+18

go
20x9+25 225/30
20x10.5+30 265/30
roll fronts and shave rear. this will sit really flush with springs or coils. and look great

What is the most aggressive setup one can go without any rolling and shaving?

Thanks!

instead of rolling the insiade lip of the fenders you cute them off, it give you more clearance without running the risk of pulling your fenders when you dont want to.

9.5+15(10+21)
or

so a 10 +18 is MORE aggressive than a 9.5 +15.

can anyone tell me what the best offset is without rubbing?
I'm lowered on H&R springs.
It doesnt have to be completely flush but out just enough that it won't rub.
I'm looking to get rims real soon, so I'd really appreciate help on this!
Thanks!!
