You are forgetting the other side of the wheel. "Adding" and inch "adds" width to both sides of the wheel so to speak. So you only subtract half an inch (or 12.7mm) from the offset number.

Good point, but let's take this into account. There's a 1 inch difference, so let's split that in half. And extend it outwards past the center line. So u would subtract 13 from -25. And that gives us -12. So what about the other 13 mils? Its going inwards towards the strut on the other side of the center line. I believe this is the thinking behind the offset calculators.

your fender flare looks good man. curious if you driven the car up a driveway and let the rears compress inside the fenders yet? did your lip scrape on the inside of the fender? my 20x11 -7 look kinda like your setup before i flared it and the lip scraped all up in the fender. i just got my flares done also but had to remove the inside of the fender so the fenders would flare more because i had my fenders cut before. gotta bring it to the body shop to clean it up and repaint it.

hatchboi, thanks for bring that to my attention but i havent reach that point yet cause im still on springs but once i get some coilover and lower it then i'll let you know. At this point im still trying to clear my 255 35 where the rear quarter and bumper meets and doing it without the use of camber arm or buying a smaller set of tire but i think camber arm might be a big help. I'll post up more pic within the next couple week or when ever i think i have good updates.
hatchboi do you have any pic of your setup? if you do but dont want to post cause it still under construction do you mind PM'n me some i want to get an idea of your setup since you are running something similar

yea i am but with the lip inside the front fenders i probly had less room then stock. i was rubbing the inside lip of the wider fenders but i have since trimmed out most of the lip i dont rub anymore. i do want to trim the last 10mm of the lip off and try to take some of the camber out of the front. i am currently at like 3.5d degrees of camber in the front and like 3 in the rear. i want to try to get to like 3 front and rear.
