Default !!!!!Offset Question!!!!!

hi i am currently running 19x8.5 +25 (front) & 19x9.5+29 (rear) on my car. if i install 20mm spacers front and rear, will it sit flush or stick out of the fenders too much or even at all? also, will i need fender rolling or cutting? thank you.

Question

Do you have 20 mm between the outer edge of the tire and inner edge of the fender?

I have 20mm spacers on my rear wheels. My original offsets were 37mm in the rear, so now I'm at 17mm. My fenders are rolled, I'm dropped 1.2" in the back and my camber is at -1.6 degrees. No rubbing.

I like neg camber. Some people here like to turn, as opposed to going straight.

NICE. ok. i have one more question. i am calling all the just tires in my area for a quote to install these because i dont have a jack other than the spare tire jack and a torque wrench. one of the places actually refused to install these, saying its dangerous because the wheels will get loose and eventually fall off..? true? i am getting H&R DRS series 20mm all around by the way.

they won't fall off if torqued correctly and rechecked after driving 25 miles or so, just like wheels.

you'll be fine, unless you get some cheap ebay ones, but H&R are quality goods.

Or you can buy a torque wrench ($35) a floor jack and pair of jack stands ($30) and install it yourself.

I torqued my project kics to 85 lbs. 70 is definitely way too low. I torque my wheel nuts to 90 lbs.
