Default New wheels need help and advice!

Hello guys I'm already looking for my spring wheels already and I want to run 18s most likely stock sizes 18x8 in the front and 18x9 in the rears running 225/40/18 then 255/40/18 in the rears. Now My question is what's the offset I need to run to make it flush without rolling fenders and on stock height. I may get the sage lowering blocks and will need it to for the 25 and 30 mm body drop.??

to stay flush with the fenders , a lot of people usually run around the +32-35 offset. You can go lower if you are feeling frisky and want some poke

both really but it depends on the wheels you have in mind. Ive seen some 40F/32 rear, 35F/30R, 35F/25R, 32F/20R

it all really depends on how aggressive you want to go but +32-35 is where most people stay around with out any major body modifications like rolling or pulling

rolling fenders is pretty easy if you are handy. i did my old car one weekend with a 2 inch pipe and heat gun. you can pay someone to do it but when you see the simplicity of it, you see its a was something you can do yourself. 521's are cool tho, search because im pretty sure some members have that setup. pm them and ask them what they have done

Check out my garage, I posted pics of the wheels I just put on with sizes and offsets. And that includes a 1" drop on the F Sport struts and springs with 20" wheels.
