Hi,

What is the maximum offset I can safely run without rubbing issues or without modifications to the fender? I also didn't want to have any crazy camber. I was looking at getting 19" rims, but wanted as much rim lip possible.

Thanks

All of this is subject to change with tires sizes and ride height.

Thanks for the input guys. I was planning on lowering the car like 1.5", nothing crazy. Is there a way I can find out how much I can go without buying rims that will require fender mods or camber mods etc? I would like to run 245s on the front and 275s on the rear.
