Default Wheel Spacers Question?

Hey there, I keep seeing some nice looking aggresive wheel offset, and was wondering if I can push my wheels out more.

I'm no expert at wheel offsets and how to determine what can and will fit, so I'm looking for the experts to chime in and give me some help.

I have Sevas S55 in 20s +20

Tire Sizes are:

245/35/20 Front
275/30/20 Rear

And a Picture of the Car.

looks like to be super flush you could get another 5 maybe 10 and that will bring you out to +15 or +10 offset.

is that right guys.?

id set get 10 or 15mm in the rear, and 5-10 in the front.

my setup is 25mm rear, and 15mm front, with a +22 offset, and mine just stick out a little past the fenders. looks mean

The best way to determine I think is to put something flat along the wheel well and measure from the flat part to the tire, that measurement will tell you how much of a spacer you will need.

you look pretty flush, I would say 15mm TOPS from the pics anyways

What are the widths of your front and back wheels?

Just to give you an example. I bought used Axis Mods that had crappy offsets (I got a great deal). My offsets were +37 in the back and +38 in the front. I put 20mm project kic spacers on the back which put my offsets to +17 (perfect IMO). I plan on putting 10mm spacers on the front which would give me an offset of +28. I'm dropped so If I went any higher in spacers in the front I would rub.

BTW my widths were 9"/10" front/rear.

Yeah if I were you I wouldn't push it. You practically can't get any better than +20 offsets. I'm assuming your rear fenders are rolled (mine are).

You can def go wider than 8.5+20 and 10+20. I would go with 15mm fronts with 5-10mm rears

If you run your fingers across the inside of the rear fenders and they are smooth then they've been rolled. If their's a sharp edge then they haven't. They also could have been cut.
