how can that sound right when you don't know how low the guy is? Is this back in the early 2000's when nobody knew about offset and one size fits all?

Also dont forget that his camber at what ever his ride height is will also affect his fitment.

Well, by reading his thread and analyzing his rather noob question he MOST LIKELY has a mild drop; and that's if he is even lowered. Not everyone slams their cars to the ground and tuck their wheels.

Something tells me this is his situation and therefore my answer is perfectly fine. No need to go into ridiculous detail. He is only looking for a relatively flush look with no fender modifications within a few millimeters.

The information that I previously provided is fine for stock ride hieght to a 2" drop...how do I know? Because I have a 2" drop (mild) and the fitment looks fine for what I think the OP is looking for. Since there is little or no camber difference from my drop to stock then those specs should also be fine for stock ride hieght as well.

If the OP has a 4"+ drop then camber and other things should obviously be considered for proper fitment.

9/10 wide with a +15 all around should be pretty good..jus add camber and a fender roll and thats as easy as it gets..ofcourse u'll have to tuck some tire for it to look awesome

Not at all a simple question. YOU LEFT OUT 95% of the info needed to even answer your question properly!
