Default OFFSETS that will be flushed to the fender

Anyone know the wheel offset that will have the wheel be flushed to our fenders without needing any mods done for a lowered car since our aftermarket wheel thread stinks because everyone wants to post pictures but not follow the instructions in the first post.

like i wouldn't be able to do anything silly like have offsets as low as 24 would i?

What size wheels are you going for? That would be helpful.

And although not everybody posts all of the information in the Wheel thread, you can glean some very useful information from them. I was able to get a pretty good idea of the size/offset combination that I was looking for based on what was posted there.

+34 all around should be fine if you are running 19x8.5 and 19x9.5

Wow!! That's very aggressive. You must have some "deep dishes" up front and rear. Have any pictures of your set-up?

Welcome to the silly club! Ive ran 19x9 +22 and 19x10 +22 before did a little fender mod and it fit right in and the tires were not even stretched aggressively.
For my next set of wheels .... i think im gonna pull my fender and go with an aggressive stretch and offsets in the high to mid teens. Silly enough?

i actually own a 350z as well. my buddys runs +5 offset on their 19x9.5 front and +7 19x10.5

my car right now im running +5 front and +10 rear. we 350z guys run pretty aggressive offsets. some guys even run +0 all around.

with my works i was ganna go 19x9 +13 R disc and 19x10 +11 O disc but the R disc will not clean bbk. it would have been nice cause my front lip would have been more than 3 inches and rear would have been almost 5 inches.
