If i get the BRS fender flares, and mold them on (duh), since they are 3 inches wider, what rim size would i need to fit?? Now i do know some numbers, I'm gonna look for rims that are 18x8, with 5x100 bolt pattern and im gonna get 225/40/18, but my question is, what offset number do i need so that it matches up to the flare, like what satoshi and Double_ohh_GTS have. I want them to be flush, so all i need to know is what offset, anyone know?? Im trying to buy some asap, so i need to know, thank you!!

The 245 & 285 are the width of the tires. As for offset, you'll wanna go with a 30mm, that way it'll push the wheels further out w/o having to get Spacers.
I'm running 8,5x19" with 30 offset, and the car is lowered 60mm up front and 70mm rear -- and there's no scrubbing. so if you want something to fill out your arches with the flares, you're going to need something much wider than 8x18 with a 30 offset.
..and 235 or 245 tyres for 8" wheels is too much. I've got 235 on 8,5" wheels. Go with maximum 225 (I'd go with 215 wide with a 40 profile)
60mm front and 70mm rear...How much is that in Inches??
And how much is 30mm offset??
Well, all i want is 18x9, rear and forward...so what would be the perfect offset and i am going to go with a 40 profile, so what would i go with in width, in tires for a 9 inch width rim??
Anyone else who can help me out let me know!!

^^^ Correct, thats my current project, i just bought the FF GT Front Bumper, Rear Bumper, Skirts, and Spoiler, couldnt get the GT Hood in Carbon Fiber so i didnt get the Hood, i want a Carbon Fiber Hood, but i might go back and buy the Fenders and somehow have them molded into the Flares!!!

At first, pre-fit the fendar flares. Second, adjust the position of rims using Spacers. Third, calculate the appropriate offset and rim size. Last, calculate the appropriate size of tires.
Anyway, 245-40-18 is IMPOSSIBLE. 225-40-18 for 9J rims or 245-35-18 for 9J rims.

the answer to your question is a 10 offset...I have this with my brs fender flares..
What size rims do you have with that 10offset, 18 or 17, and what width rims do you have and what tire size?? Also if you have pics can you send me some, if you want you can email me too and i will give you my email!!
Any help that i can get will be great, i want to see how flush your tires look!! Also, what springs do you have?? THanks!!
