Ok first thing, I'm looking at the offset guide and taking into account I would have a lowered celi, (most likely the tien 1.4' front and .9'rear); and I'm look at a 17x7 rim seen here.

http://www.sportmaxwheel.com/sportmax_006.shtml (note: I don't know the offset of these. anyone know?)

So I should end up with something around a 26mm offset to clear anything on the inside. I'm going for the "deep dish" look here as you can tell. Now this is the part that throws me off. I'm also looking to install fender flares and mold them in (think 350z style fender buldges). The flares I'm interested in are here

so what offset either pos or neg should I be looking for to fill out these wheel wells?

Please someone help me out here, I'm racking my brain and can't get my head around it. confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif confused.gif


P.S. please excuse me if this should be posted in "exterior styling" section.

Malpaso: yeah I've looked into the offset guide before but that applies to having stock fenders.

So lets assume with the offset of these particular rims is 26mm on the dot (who knows). putting the 2.5in flares on would convert to 63.5mm. Are spacers this size available for one or safe?
