Default offset gurus and fender gurus help!

Hey I need the help of people that are good with offsets and fenders..... I want to try and get my car the most flushed I can with my conservative wheels. I bought these wheels before I wanted the super flushed look, they are Work Eurolines and the front are 19x8.5 +36 and rears are 19x9.5 +38. First, where can I get some 30mm spacers? Second if I get those spacers it would make the front +6 and reaer +8 right? I was thinking of shaving the front fenders, will that suffice, whitout any rubbing?. As dor the rears I want to roll and pull but my question is how much of a pull would I need to eliminate any rubbing?. Also keep in mind that I want to mount these on some stretched tires, so if you could please inform me on some tire sizes that would be a little stretched not too much. Thanks

Project kics for spacers.
Also might want extended studs.

As for your math, yes and yes.

Shaving your front fenders? Do you mean a pull or roll? I'm not sure I understand that one too well.
As for your tire, I'm not too sure.

You can buy some spacers from vendors here. I believe most of them carry spacers. And yes, if you get those spacers your wheels will be +6 and +8.

What you need to do is put the wheels on first, then go from there. Lower your car to where you want it and then shave / pull from there. But you have to consider your tires too. You will definitely have to run some major stretched tires.

Look around on the SC forums and look at other people's setups with their offets and tire combo. I don't know how extreme you want to go, but with those offsets above, you will need to stretch tires like no other

Why would extended studs be necessary? Just curious. I'm on Project Kics spacers right now and just ran the stock studs.

I meant it as an alternative to the spacers.

Extended studs would be necessary since you wont have enough thread on the studs to put your lug nuts. If you buy spacers w/ extended studs such as Ichiba, it wont really be a problem. Id suggest a roll instead of the shave/cut fender as that will weaken the fender itself. Ive seen cut fender de-form from catching the tire more often than a rolled/pulled fender. Depending on what amount of fender work you are willing to do you may rethink the size of your spacers, perhaps a 20 or 25mm would suffice for you.

lol, you must be on the Fatlace forums frequently, right.

25mm = 1 inch. Are really you sure you want/need that much?

Buy a new set of wheels, with a +25 offset in front and a +23 in the rear. Roll the fenders, and relocate the wiring harness under the driver fender.

Rock 275/35 in the rear, and 245-255/35 up front.

dump it.

buy spacers
rent fender roller
buy heat gun
buy some rust inhibitor spray paint(paint will chip no matter what you do or how much you heat)
qauality masking tape...3m blue painters tape

put on wheels and spacers
lower the car to your liking
roll/pull fenders till it is where you want it to be and doesnt rub

use alignment to your advantage

good luck.

depending on how low you want to go you might not need a full roll in the front. i have 18x10+22 all around. your wheels 19x8.5+36 with a spacer are +11 effectively, sit 8mm more sunk them my setup. i barely rolled mine to make it fit. it never rubs and i have ran a 265/35/18 up front before during drift events.

your rear is a 19x9.5+38 effectively a +13 with a 25mm spacer sit 3mm more flush then my car. i have run a 265.35.18 before without rubbing. i have a full roll done. no pulling. i have run dulpon dz101 255/35/18, michelin pilot sport 2 245/45/18, and many others without rubbing issues.

the only tire i had rubbing issues with was a bridgestone potenza kdw(new ones). kdw runs really wide for its size. i had a 245/45/18 and it ran way wider then my michelin 245.45.18.

this is my front:


yours will be 8mm more sunk then that

this is my rear:


yours will be 3mm more flush

and just for fun to show the tight fender clearance lol

i have 19x8.5 offset 37 in the front with a 35mm adapter with a 215/35 and it needs at least another 10-15 mm to be "FLUSH", inner lip on the front has been hammard but needs more for my future flushing indevorse lol.
