What is the lowest offset we can run?
all depends if you are dropped and how much...i run fat fives with 45 offset 205/50/15 tires and i dont rub...had to roll a front fender lip tho...im dropped around 2.5 inch in the front and 2 inch in the rearQuote:

Im planning to run 16x8 +20 wheels. think i can clear? i dont mind using extended studs or spacers
Umm, the outer rim of those will stick out about an inch and a half more compared to the old ones.Quote:

Not going to happen without some major fender work... I am running 15x7 +28mm ET, and had to roll my rear fenders to avoid rubbing (car would not move when lowered because fenders hit tires so bad)
it can be done I am sure, but not without pulling the rear fenders some, and possibly doing something to the fronts as well.
I am running 15x8 at a -35mm offset with 225/45/15 tires. Technically the fenders need to be rolled ever so lightly. but with the stiff susspension and my current drop I dont have to.

Ill post pics when ill upload them. :naughty:
i had a +38 in 205/40/17 on the car and it just rubbed a lil under heavy breaking. just needed some stiffer suspension and it would have been fixed... let me find some pics...

Importordomestic, wut suspension are you running?
i think a 7.5 wide wheel would be the max you could with out having to pull the fenders, you would just have to roll them.
good catch +35Quote:

i have plans on being flush one day.. but not all stretched and cambered.. just a stiff suspension that will fit a lil closer to the fenders then the 17's did haha....
Sux that you guys don't like camber and flush because i am about to run 15x8 0 offset and slam and camber to make them fit. :cheers:

yeah I'm sorry but when you say camber and flush...i think things like functionality over form, structural integrity, negative camber for a purpose rather than a form, 205mm=7.0in---wheels that don't fucking poke out of the tires therefore sacrificing the tires' structural integrity lol.
Poke n' stretch is fucking ridiculous. Get tires that fit your god damn rim
Best. Statement. Ever.Quote:

you should give your car to someone who cares a little more about it... LIke me so it can sit right beside my 3g race car.Quote:

I built it into a race car, because I like to be different as well. And I respect that.Quote:

There is arguably a slight performance increase in a stretched sidewall, Not extreme like a 195 tire on a 9'' rim. But stretching the sidewall makes the sidewall more rigid, by limiting how much the contact patch can deflect on the rim. The tire will then have a better response, increasing the cars turn in and less tire roll.
Honestly the way you want to run the car to get the tire to fit doesn't do anything to help the car and you will probably kill the cars ride comfort and handling. Running -5+ camber front and rear then slamming it, isnt the way to do it.
Cut and radius the fenders to fit around the tire it gives a much better non ghetto look.
Here is a link to a VW guy that did it HE did an extreme version but you get the point. For the record this is exactly how I intend to do my race car when i get ready to lower it some more.
