I actually think they're gonna poke a little too much all around, that offset and width might be a little too aggressive. Someone ran 18x8.5's up front +30 and 18x9.5's out back +25 and they're pretty flush with the fenders.

+20 is very agressive they will definately poke out, a decent amount.

A wider rim would do the opposite of what you want to achieve. The Centerline (which the offset is measured off of) is always (duh) in the center, so if you go from 8.5" to 9" the rim will stick out 1/4" more. Tires will play a big role here too.

You may be able to pull off a +20 offset on 7" rims with low pros..... I dont know....Haven't played with it. And I dont know why you ever would.

I know my 6 spoke series 1 350Z wheels were +30 x 8" and they sat pretty flush with fender in the back and poked out a bit in the front on my old 4th gen.

Here's a little something I usually go by from another thread I saw:

"Here are some base values for flushness in the front.

9" +38
8.5" +32
8" + 26
7.5" +20
7" +14

These are fairly conservative and I don't account for the decimal place (Unit of error is 1mm for every reduction of 1.5" of wheel width from baseline 9"). There is definately more room to poke out more then camber in as needed. 9.5 Will fit in the front, but Im not sure if it will with a +44 offset (to make it flush). I run +35 with no problems, though I have a conservative drop.

For the rear add spacer to match. Or if you want to stagger.

10" +41
9.5" +35
9" +29
8.5" +23
8" +17

Again did not account for the error. Obviously you can stray +/- 1-5mm and still be close to the fender if the wheel in question does not match the criteria above."
