Default looking for proper offset for that flush fitment

Ok... befor I get flamed for not just searching, I did. I've been searching for about 8 weeks now looking for the right ancer I need and have yet to finde it. IDK if I'm just not looking in the right spot or not. But personaly, I'd rather get flamed for not being able to simply find an ancer on a topic WELL spoken about, insted of keeping quiet and buying a set of wheels that just don't fit.

My question : What offset would I need to have a flush fitment without spacers?

My car : 90 LS400
Mods/Factors that will be taken into the equaision : Coilovers (I plan on daily driving low), rolled fenders, 8.5"-9.5"fronts 10"-11" rears

P.S. - I already know that the wider the wheel the deeper the lip will be with a spicific offset. For example a 19x11 +30 will have a deeper lip than 19x9 +30

disk will also make a difference.

ie- a 19x10 +20 Hi-Disk (aka R-Disk) will have less lip, but the same fitment, as a 19x10 +20 Super Low-Disk (aka O-Disk).

also, the flusher you are, the harder/more painful/more challenging riding low becomes, just a heads up.

wheel fitment thread is where you're likely to find your answers. rimtuck.com will probably help. just make sure to only pay attention to '89-94 fitments, as UCF20/21 chassis has pretty different fitment.

Ok,, now you're just pickin... LOL!!!

To the OP,, this should help you out a bit. It gives the wheel setup that some others have done and is the thread that was mentioned by Puredrifter, one of our resident LS "mad genius' (don't tell him, but he knows his stuff). Anyway,,,

I really think the answer you are looking for is gonna depend upon the specs of the wheels you select for consideration. Coilovers are gonna be a big asset to you here since you are really gonna need the adjustability since flushness and riding low are gonna be your main challenges. Best advice, pick the wheel, get the specs, and your question MAY be better answered as opposed to trying to just give blind advice. So far, with what has been provided, we know that you plan on riding low, you're gonna roll your fenders, and that you want 8.5 - 9.5 up front as well as 10-11 out back. Without the wheel specs you are considering, there just is not enough information to go on to give a definitive answer.

Specs needed,,,,,wheel size, offset, disc (high, low, superlow, etc). these will all be found with the wheels you pick out. Given this info in addition to what you have already listed, you question can be better answered.
