Wheel offset?

I am going to lower my 2GS with megan EZs and i was going to get a set of wheels too. I am looking to get 19s. I want to get as close to the fenders without shaving them or pulling them. What i would like to know is how much offset do I need to achieve this without spacers.

It all depends on the width of the wheel too. What widths were you looking to get?

255?? That really doesn't tell us anything besides the tire you plan on running!!! You might be into the stretching fad and want to throw it on a 11" wide rim. Get what I am saying.

I will help you figure it out:

My GUESS is not go past 9.5 and not below +30. I had 20x10 +30 all around and it rubbed front and rears without fender mods. But that was 20's.

??? This is why a proper offset is critical. You can run a 11" tire in back and only have to roll the rear lip. It isn't hard to roll a lip either. I rolled mine using a primitive cheater bar, the key is to slowly work the lip a little bit at a time.
