I'm looking at this aftermarket wheel and I want it to sit flush with the fenders. I am wondering if I will need spacers. Maybe someone with more knowledge than me in this area can helo me out.To my understanding, my

OEM wheel specs are : 18x8 +45 FRONT , 18x8.5 x50 REAR.
The AFTERMARKET wheel specs are : 18x8.5 +35 FRONT , 18x9.5 +40 REAR.

Does the lower offset imply a more concave look? i know the wherls are a little concave (ill post pics). Is this a more aggressive set up than stock? I don't want some hella flush hard parking look, just to line up clean with fenders. Also will I need fender mods like rolling/pulling fenders for this set up?

Thanks!

forgot pics:

It is a vossen VSF2 style wheel. Kind of a replica of a replica since niche is Vossen replica and these wheels are even cheaper than Niche hahaahhaa. Pretty sure it's just a China whole sale wheel which I'm fine with... found on Craigslist

nice looking wheel, the offsets are rather conservative. so don't expect hella flush.

Test fit them and see how they mount up. I wouldn't expect it to sit perfectly even with your fenders, but you can always use a little bit wider of a tire. try to avoid the wheel spacers if you can though.
Beautiful wheel btw, I'll be jumping on the Vossen wagon as well soon

thanks guys, and yeah it is a pretty nice looking wheel. thinking about powdercoating them dark gold like the actual vossen VFS2.. such a nice color on white car. anyways I did a search on the forum and found this website: http://www.rimsntires.com/specspro.jsp which worked great! you enter oem and aftermarket wheel specs and it gives u a run down on suspension, fender, and wheelwell clearance as well as speedometer discrepancies with new wheels (which im guessing is based off tires alone since it doesnt have a spot to enter wheel weight). Also I had to do it twice sonce the wheels are staggered.

Looks like with my desired set up im getting a 10mm push oit on all wheels with perfect clearance and no predicted speed loss.


now to go outside and measure wher an extra 10mm on each wheel will make them sit. Already guessing the rear will need a little more to sit flush
