I am really close to buying my wheels now. The TSW snetterton. I really want to avoid the sunk look. And get it as near to flush as possible without spacers. I mean if i can't then it will be how it has to be. So my question what would I have to deal with if i go with 18x8 front and 18x9.5 rear with a 20 offset? Any fender rolling? Cause i don't really wanna deal with that. So far the car has stock suspension so I will lower it after I get the wheels.

I did much research and i know +40 wheels will fit no problem. Just can't do the big brake upgrade with these tsw's

You can't get a not-sunk in look without rolling the rear fenders, period... some people even thought mine looked sunk in with 19x9.5 +35 and 285/30-19's and if my fenders weren't rolled and I wasn't running some negative camber, that would have rubbed... probably could do +20 with a narrow tire on there, but, IMO, who wants that?

Heres pics of my current setup. Still not flush enough for my taste and might go bigger next year. 18x9 +0 215/40/18 for my fronts and 18x10.5 +0 235/40/18 for my rears. All I did was a roll on the stock fenders. Also car is lowered all the way down on Tein HA's.

Do you think I could fit 18/35/265 or 275 with federals or hankooks in the rear on a 18x10.5 +20 with the same fender mods you have?

assass1n, what kind of mods did you do to the fenders? That's some crazy fitment you got there. I'm gonna be fitting my stock '95 body with 20x8.5 +20 front and 20x10 +25 rear in a few months. Any idea how I can make it fit and what tire size I should use? It's also gonna be lowered at the same time.

Right now I have 19x8.5 +33 front and 19x9.5 +23 rear, both with spacers on those offsets I wrote. No mods on front fenders, rear have been tucked in a bit, (previous owner did a sloppy folding in the rear so it can still be folded a bit more)

You will be able to fit those easily with just a fender roll and a little negative camber. as for tire size it will depend on how much camber you'd be willing to run. for example if you dont want to run negative camber then you'd need a 215/35/20 for the 8.5 and a 235/35/20 for the 10. but if you're willing to run camber then even a 235/35/20 for the 8.5 and a 255/35/20 for the 10.

Probably data base error. At My other message board that I go to. Mr2oc.com they stop threads past 100 posts. So it doesn't cause problems like on this site. Many of the theads go beyond 1000 posts and are laggy or show inaccurate page count.

I'm going to run a similar set up to this up front. I'm going to be doing 18x9 +15 on 245/40 up front. Does the front rub and what fender mods you have done? What are you dropped on and by how much? This would help me determine what I need to do. Thanks.

^, An aggressive cut should do the trick in the rear.
You'll be able to get away with 275/35's.
