Clear this up for me please, the +40 pushes tire into the fender well? The +20 will push tire to the outside of car? I'm offset stupid! Anyone explain in to me in crayon I'd REALLY appreciate it.

What offset you think these are? Exact setup/Specs I've posted above

Eibach pro-kit so I'm guessing 1'4 front 1'0 rear (if that's actually his drop, I have no clue. Just what specs say off Eibachs site)

Above pics are all I've seen. Would it not be the same on both sides? I'm a little confused with your comment.

You can tell from pic fronts are tucked, the rears it's hard to tell. Doesn't look like they are.

^

When you drop the 2is on springs, the driver side tends to be lower than the passenger side. By ~ 1/8th of an inch. Thats why people go with coils to get an even ride height all the way around...Damn i might be considering either H&R springs or Tein S Tech Springs for a lower drop. I dont have the funds for coils and im a bit tired of the f sport drop. Anyone care to chime in?

That's strange as hell. Does anyone know why that is?

Coilovers are in the way future here (money doesn't grow on trees) Rims/tires/Calipers/tint/Roders have all soon to be ordered.

Faze one complete: Sub/amp installed

Anyone else have feedback??

Now, the most important question. Will it be flush and look clean?

The front will be 20x8.5 235/30/20, to be flush +20 or +40?
To be flush of course +20, probably extend out of the fender a little bit.

+40 will not be flush...

i'm gonna disagree here and say that +40 on a 10 inch wide wheel will sit almost flush

The key here is to consider offsets in tandem with wheel widths and not offsets independently

+40 on a 9.5? Sure, it wont be flush....but a 10 inch +40 will stick out a good 6-7mm more than the 9.5 inch wide wheel

I say go for +40. With +20 you are bringing yourself a whole word of hurt and rubbed fenders, espcially with 20 inch wheels, thats just insane...you could roll your fenders up to your rear windows and it would still rub like hell....some guys dig the look and thats fine but its a lot easier to make +40 work and its not like the wheels are gonna be sunken in the fenders at that offset
