Wheel offset?

With a 18X8 wheel, what would be the most negative offset we could fit on our 5th gens? Even if it required rolling the fender lips? I just hate the wheels not being flush with the wheel wells.

You could probably get away with a 30 offset but you may have to roll the fenders. A lot of people have 18 and 19x8 with 35 offset and no problems. Im running a 19x8 40 offset and considering rear hubcentric spacers on the back. Remember, the rears sit in quite a bit more so if you get a 30 offset, it may look really nice and flush on the back but look skated(sticking out) up front. I think the best bet is a 35-40 offset and spacers on the back. Just my .02
