Default Aggressive offsets--

Right now have
19x9 +19 and 19x10 +19

but I'm looking at
19x9 +15 and 19x10 +5

Offset calculator says they will poke out 4mm & 14mm more respectively (shouldn't be a problem)
but inner clearance between inside of the wheel and strut housing will be 4mm & 14mm more respectively.

Anyone know if these new ones will fit, or how I can measure it myself?

Thanks
Stefan

A good question would be -- how aggressive can I get?

I looked at rominl's offset guide but I'm hoping for further insight--

The question is how much work are you willing to put into modding the fenders, if any. One way to accurately find out fitment would be to spacer them out, keep track of the total spacer width until you get the fitment you're looking for, then calculate the difference to the wheel you're using to figure out the perfect specs for you.

Thanks, Mark! Appreciate the input!

Wondering if anyone has any experience with going aggressive without fender mods. Curious to know what the max is!
