Q. I want to run 9.5" +15 or some crazy low offset?
-Not recommended: At any point where the wheel/tires begin to stick out of the fenders instead of being tucked in will result in an increase in drag. You will lose mileage and performance. Your turning radius will begin to deteriorate, and your suspension will become strained from the exaggerated track width.
-The 9.5" +22 offset is already very aggressive and at the very edge of the fenders. Any further out and your side skirts, doors, and rear quarter panel will become sandblasted by the road debris kicked up by your tires.
saw this on evoxforums , wanna ask you guys with awesome flushed setup if it is true cause i plan to run 18x9.5 +12 in the future

I don't think 18x9.5 +15 sticks out past the fenders (if anything, a 1/8th inch lol). I know 18x10.5 +15 does.

It does (a few mm). 18x9.5 +20 will be flush as can be with out poking out. (this is with minimal camber)

That will poke considerably. You'll have to run about -3* of camber with a semi stretch to stay within the fenders.

What tire size and chamber you have at the front and rear? That looks hella flush and something I'm trying to achieve.

I'm sure any alignment shop should be able to max out the camber for you

You dont need to pay anyone to do that. Just loosen the 4 allen key bolts on your camber plates, and push those suckers full negative.

You will ruin your toe if you do that.

I got Stance LX+ and my tuner shop of choice I go to is Touge Factory. I'm sure they will be able to max the chamber to -3 if needed. I just didn't know how far I need to go. I plan to wear 265/35 R18 tires so I'm thinking I can get away with -2.75 front and -2.5 rear.
