For starters, offset needs a width to go with it.

Offset measures the distance from the center of the rim (looking at it sideways) to the mounting location for the wheel hub. So on a 10in wide rim, ANY offset would stick 2 inches further out than on a 8in rim.

I've read(on the tire/wheel sticky) that 10in wide on a +22 offset is as big as you can go without a fender roll In the rear.

Try searching the rim/tire sticky for the wheel sizes you are looking for.

Is your car dropped or stock ride height?

Your fronts are gonna stick out about 44mm(almost 2in) further than stock. That might be covered if you roll your fenders, But your rears should look pretty good. 9.5 is pretty wide up front.

^Roll your front fenders! See with 9.5 +38 your wheels are gonna be 1/4in further out than his. IMO that's WAY too much.

My car is at stock ride height. Rolling the fenders would be a must from what I see.

I still dont know if its going to look good 38 9.5 up front though.

Does anyone have any more pictures so I can get an idea
