Seize, I thought I was convinced till I saw your pix. Yours are only +38mm
The +35's would stick out even more and as it is your already verrrrry low on clearance. I hate to buy them and find out they dont fit.
I wonder if you could have the WMS (wheel mount surface) turned down in a lathe ?

True, although if im understanding correct. The Offset is taken from the center of the rim ?
Since yours are 10" and mine would be 9.5" thats a difference of mine being .25" less width than yours but also add 3mm to that because of the difference in 35-38mm. That would put me at -.25" but + .11" = minus .14" so just over an 1/8" less width than yours.
Does that make any sense at all ? Its lunch time

If you're still worried...here take a look at gatewaycraig's car
he's running a 10"(rear) with a +35 offset and I believe he doesn't have rolled fenders but he is running a stretched-tire set-up with a 255 in the rear

LOL yea you must have gone to lunch early.
Seize, its hard to tell from that pic of gatewaycraig's car since his tires are stretched. Mine will be flush with the rim.
But I think Ill get them and see what happens.
Thanks and if anyone else has anything to add please do.

You don't have negative camber thats why it looks flush. In reality the lower the car is, the more negative camber appears and you will realize that it will become less flush and you can go lower. When I raised my car 3 inches before I had the whole car painted, the front and rear was very flush.
Try this, have a few of your friends sit on the trunk of your car while the lid is up. Have 3 more people sit in the back seat of your car while you are on the driveway. You will see the tire go in the fender well and then take a ruler to measure how much room you have left, that will tell you how much lower offset you can go.

This is why im paying so much attention to the offset since I want the wheels stright up and down.

Sieze - This is the look I'm going for. Any more detailed info on width, offset (front and rear) and tire sizes? Thanks in advance.

I have 10" with 34 offset in the rear. With Dunlop 275/35/18's no rub. With my new BFG Gforce 275/35/18 they rub. Same size written on the side of the tire but different results.

Oh wow, didn't think they were 20's. I think I will stick with 19's. I wonder if the 19's with the same sizes can pull off the same look and most of all avoid the fender mods.
