Looks good, just need some spacers! Then you'll be all set

I don't want to be that guy but lower it more and it will be golden. I love those wheels! The fitment is all there potentially but just a little more low to get rid of that gap.

I guess the only solution is breaking up with her. Or if you really love her park outside the apartment and just walk the rest of the way. She'll probably like that and think you care about her more and reward you or something. Double win

Anybody have thoughts on a 18x8.5 wheel with a +20 offset??? I'm having some Forgestar f14's made and i asked the front to be 18x8.5+20 and the rear to be 18x9+20.

Gonna look really sunk. Here's a picture of 18x9 +25 in the FRONT. so imagine how sunk it will be in the rear.

I though going with a higher offset (i.e. +30 +35) will make it appear to be sunk. My stocks are +30 and thought that +20 would bring it out...Based on the pic you listed here i think it looks ok. I was told too that having a 8.5 width and a +20 offset will give me some lippage...is that right??? the back wheels will be 9.5 width so im thinking there wont be too much if any lippage at all...im worried my fronts will have a lip, and the back wont

Yeah your right. +20 will just be 5mm more aggressive than the picture. Which isn't much at all. Plus it's going in the rear in your case, the one in my picture is in the front. Ideal widths and offsets if your looking for that semi-flush look is 9.5" +20 or lower in the front, and 10.5" +20 or lower in the rear.

Here is a picture of 18x10.5 +20 in the REAR:

It seems that this method is common sense. I fail to understand What size spacers should I get? threads.

First off... Thank you BMurray350z for answering EVERY question i had. Secondly, thank you KingBaby for providing me the link for wheel spacers. I do see how spacers would help in assisting me, but my questions were directed at wheel width.... And they were promptly answered
