Default *Pic Request* 18x8 +20 Front Wheels

I'm ordering my new wheels and tires today but the wheels I'm getting only come in either +40 or +20 offsets and I'm affraid that a +20 will stick out too much in the front. The wheels I have on my SC now are 18x8 +30 and they sit perfectly flush which is why I'm afraid of getting a +20.

If no one can show me a pic that answers my question before 5pm today I'll just go ahead and order a +40 for the front cause I'd rather it be sunken in a little bit than stick out.

BTW, spacers, tire stretching and fender rolling are out of the question.

im pretty sure on a +20 offset you'd have to roll the fenders....im not an expert when it comes to this but im almost positive youd have to roll the fenders....depending on how low you are

i run 8.5 20+ in the front and it doesnt poke out or rub on stock fenders with a 225/40 tire. may want to roll the fender lips though on big bumps it will scrap with stock untouched fenders. i rolled mine and its been gravy since. thy actually go in a bit when lowered about 1.5 finger gap.

I think you'll be ok. I'm running a 18x8et9 up front and I'm hella sunk with a 205/40 tire, pretty low too.

Sorry its not a close up, but it's the only one i have at the moment that shows the fitment up front.

I have +17 8.5x9.5 and it only had poke from the tires. I would say it was pretty flush. The +20 should be fine.

If you're concerned with being flush, you will need a 15mm spacer.

I have 18x8.75 on 245/40 in the front. You will have to roll the fender. I feel like the fit is just about perfect. Sending you a pm
