Default +40 offset F&R...

Is this offset too conservative on a staggered 19x8 / 19x9.5 setup??

I mean, I don't mind rolling the fenders. I'd rather not shave or pull fender at the moment though. I'm just hoping for a almost flush for a daily driver on BC coilovers. BTW....they are used & really, really cheap. Temporary wheels.

WAYYYY to conservative.

edit: you cant have almost flush without rolling.shaving the fenders..

35 front 25 rear should be good but not flush.

Thanks!
Just the answer I was looking for.....
I'm going to roll the fenders. I'm just not ready for a shave or a pull on the fender quite yet.

So, 35 front, 25 rear in general or just for a 19x8 / 19x9.5 setup?

my old setup was..

19x9 +35 High disk + 5mm spacer Front
19x9.5 +25?? Low disk rear

fits with no fender modding needed. I was dropped on Eibach. but then again everycar is different and tire size comes in to play as well.

Yeah those should fit with no fender mods; of course there are plenty of variables but those offsets are pretty conservative.
