For those with Front 20mm Flares and Rears Rolled Stretched

For those with 20mm Front Flares...what offsets are you running?

I currently have no flares with 5Zigen 17x8 +35 and 17x9 +35. Obviously going to change them up with my new setup.

What will look good as far as offsets? Im looking for a nice flush look with no rubbing if possible. Staggered as usual...probably a nice deep dish wheel.

Im getting 20mm Flares in front and will be stretching/rolling the rears. I already have some nice extended ARP Studs on, so I should be good...need ideas on offsets so I can start my search for new wheels.

Well, if you're doing 20mm fenders, then just minus 20mm from your wheels and that puts you at +15 offset.

I'm not running any widebody fenders, but I did roll and stretch both front and rear fenders. I have two sets that I usually run:

Panasport wheels
17x8.5 +18 Front w/ 225/45/R17 Federal 595 tires
17x9.5 +18 Rear w/ 275/40/R17 Hankook HRII tires
or
Enkei RPF1
17x9 +18 Front w/ 235/40/R17 Federal 595 tires
17x10 +22 Rear w/ 255/40/R17 Sumitomo HTRZ tires

and here i am thinking about getting mariah sport front fenders to fit 16x8 +25 nicely all around.

i did roll and pull my front fenders.. i should of stretched it too. it looks arkward, but fits +25 okay with a massive front drop. i cant really fit a jack under my car. -=(..

i think i got a 2.75 in drop in front. rs*r race + racingbeat lowering mounts?

+25 is nice as hell in the rear though. for 16x8... mm...

^ I can do that with no rear flares and just a rolled and stretched rear stock fender? Im trying to minimize body work and dont really want rear flares...I mean theyre cool, but im trying to stay semi simple. Its bad enoguh the flares Im buying have some air vent slit through it...

Yeah, some pics...I have pics of probably some of your cars saved for ideas...HA. Anyhow, post some up to see stances. If you do post up, list the size flare and size/offset of wheels.

Thanks!
