wow definetley diggin the +22 offset.
i was undr the impression that when you roll fenders, it shaves some of the fender off actually making for a bigger gap in the fender, but i understand now.

How much is it for a reasonable deal to get the fenders rolled?

Even all the shops I've been to so far, refused to roll on my car. 19x8.5, 19x9.5 with about +35 front and back is popular since it's pretty much the most you can go without shaving.
missed this post, so there is a differe3nce between rolling, and shaving/cutting i assume. is it hard to roll fenders? is it just something that takes mad skillz there is a custom body shop, that does nothing but customise cars, from airbags, and any kind of body work you can imagine, they could probably beable to do a good fender roll for me, but ould there still be issures with rubbing??

Default Another OFFSET question! Trust me I need your INPUT!

I wanna be dumped and flushed really crazy like ..

http://my350z.com/forum/media-share/...d-flushed.html

These guys!

So I was trying to figure it out because i have like 1 inch left of space between tire and fender with the rolled/shaved fenders and 25mm is about an inch, so I was wondering if it'll work, to look like those Z's in the link! Because that is just SICK! Right now I'm on +36 offset and if I get the 25 mm spacers I'll have +11 offset, on a 10.5 width of a rim. And I'm on 245/35/19 TIRES! So can I please have more input?

I want my rear to be super aggressive, I need lots of input! Thanks!

EDIT

Its one thing to be flush, but I just think that these guys have went to far, it almost looks like they should have 100 spokes and hydraulics. Notice the one picture from the rear and how the wheels camber in, I bet their tires last about 5000 miles like that, but if I had to choose a setup from one of these guys, I like the eclipse's the best. I dont think that is that much help, but maybe you could post a pic of what your car looks like now

with a 19x10.5 +36 aren't your wheels already flush?
i run a 19x10.5 +43 and i m not far.
the main thing to do is to stretch the sh*! out of your tires and make the car to low to drive and then you nail it.
+25 mm spacer just seams silly. and unsafe
if you want / need that much more offset by another set of wheels.

Well they're cambering, but if you see those pics I want them to be like that, but sticking out more but the rim is inside the fender about an inch, and I want it to come out!
