Calviin's Rear fenders are pulled and rolled and shaved. I'm not looking to get that crazy. Any feedback on my choice of HP's? Anybody think i'll have a problem with going with a 235 in the front? I'm gonna set up my coilovers so i'll have no fender gap.

Thanks to all, and geez.. for the haters.
I daily drive this thing! Everywhere! School, work, gym, clubs, etc lol
I just like the hellaflushed look! GOSH!
But yeah Scoowhoop, just got +38 to +30 on the 10" rim if you don't want flush. And i suggest Matte Black finish.
10" with +22 offset is super flush if it's aligned straight, i think..
I'm cambered that's why it sits flush too...

Thanks for the input, I didn't realize you could go with that low of an offset. You guys are far more adventurous than I am! lol
btw Calviin your car is amazing! Its the first ISx50 i've seen with all matte wheels, looks good!

Alright looks like i'm gonna have to pull the trigger soon or I'm gonna be old news 
I've seen a few TP's with just the CF front and no sides and it looks incomplete but I like the contrast so I guess I'm just trying to do something alittle different that everyone else. I'll let you guys be the judge and jury

Anyway, I'm beating myself up with these offsets. I DON'T want to have to pull/roll/shave my fenders and I've already hit my wheel liners with the heat gun so I'm hoping my next choice in wheels will fit with only minor adjustments required. Do you know anyone running the 20x9 offset 28, 20x10.5 offset 32? And I thought I read somewhere you have some rubbing issues with your current setup? Why would you want to go more aggressive? I want to get this right the first time (well I guess technically i'm already on my 3rd set of wheels so 4th times a charm right?
)
