still getting annoyed by offsets.. the thing that confuses me is that i will see someone's car with say 19x10 +25 up back and its almost flush, then i see someone a bit lower with +23 and it is a little sunk, then +20 and it is poking a little. But then i see Fat Felix with +10 and his isnt even poking all that much!
So i keep changing my mind between +23 and now +14 up back, and +18 and +23 up front..!
i sortof need to get my coilovers, shave the guards, then borrow someones wheels and do some test fitting/measuring.. :P problem is finding someone's to borrow!

Think of it this way. When you fully shave your fenders and stretch your tires, you can't do much else more to it. The only thing left to modify is the camber. Some people don't want their tire wear to be so bad so they put as little camber as possible while still being flush. Others will add more camber to fit lower offsets. And there's always fender pulling too.

this is flush, and not on air suspension
in the VIP world, flush is defined as one thing, flush.
fenders rolled, tires stretched. and not a head of gap between the wheels
im not saying that you have to be slammed, but i believe most people agree, that flush means when your goign down the road, peopel are wondering if when you hit a bump ,is your wheel going to take out your fender its so close.

cheers for the input guys. got topics going left right and centre, but i did the same for my S13 and it worked out, so as much as feel a bit stupid asking over and over i think its better to do that than rush into it.
im looking at brand new rims and going off the size & offset charts, so theyre definately 9s and 10s i'm looking at, and going wider makes no difference cause the offsets shift to suit so it makes no difference apart from the width.
yeah dRo15 the ride height to camber thing is what is confusing me cause i know how much of a big part it plays from my S13. it makes the difference of like 10-15mm just through camber. so for me its a matter of compromise on fitment to suit my ride height and camber. plus, extra camber at high ride height just looks odd too. i think +23 all round will be it + spacers if i want

There's no problem in asking questions. You know what they say "There's no stupid question, just stupid people" Just playing. I know how you feel, if your about to spend say 3k on rims you know you want to get the right specs so you won't be disappointed. Ur just doing your research. Hope the specs work out for you.
