Default Offset question?

I want to know what offset should i get for my 01 gs? I want the rim offset to look flush but without that much fender work!! Just maybe get them rolled.
Please let me know what offset you guys are using and how flush they are!!

flush and no fender work doesn't work. In order to be flush your gonna have to do some kinda fender work. You mite be better off shaving the rear , rolling the rears are tricky .

i had my front rolled and the rears rolled pretty much as much as possible. i couldnt shave cause its illegal here in aus and wanted to keep it legal bodywork wise.

i have the fronts rolled mostly flat (theyre already a bit rolled from factory) and the rears about 1.2 way flat (the roll is just on the outer edge of the holes for the screws that hold the liner on). The guy i used is pretty good at this stuff but thats the Max he could do. there is slight dimpling where the screw holes were but only noticeable on the perfect angle in good light, generally cant notice them.

i have 19 x9 +27 up front with 235/35/19 Nexen N3000. they rub a bit up driveways so i have to get either narrower tyres, harder coilover springs, or ask if my guy can roll a bit more. camber is -1.9 or so. They are a little sunken, but cant go more aggressive due to my tyre size and the fact my fenders arent shaved.

rear i have 19x10 +24 with 245/35 Nexen N3000. These fit pretty much perfect with -2.1 camber. cant get a finger in and if you get people in the back and weigh the car down the tyre sidewall literally skims past the edge of the fender.

thus i would say if you roll you wont be able to roll much more than me. As a result i'd say it is up to how much stretch you're prepared to run and how much camber. My car is daily so i have gone with mild stretch front, reasonable stretch rear, and about the most camber i can afford to still look okay and clear the fenders, but not to chew tyres.

so i would suggest somewhere around 9 +25ish up front, and 10 +23ish up back. if you go more stretch or are happy to run more camber, you could probably drop to +19 or so all round but up to you
