hey everyone.i searched to no avail...and the the one club rx-7 was no help.basically i need to find out what is the maxium low offset you can go on certain wheel sizes(without over fender). such as a 18x9.5 +16, will it fit with a roll and tiny pull? i heard FD's dont like to fit nothing crazy on the back....



just trying to get other peoples opinions. post pics of low offset wide wheels on the back if you care to.that would be great. ummm ya.



thanks.

I'll be running 18x10.5s all the way around (ssr comps)... rear will be stock 1/4 with slightly rolled fenders.. I know that fits since I had that set up 3 years ago.

+16 offset on 9.5 is too much.. It will extend out 53mm. You need to go with 40+ offset.
