So I have an idea about doing a chart to show whether a wheel would be sunk, flush or poked. Does anyone know if there is already something like this on here so I dont just make a duplicate of something?

If not I can work on it some more. I have just a few questions so that we can come to an agreement on where it would be considered one of the three.

Just as a reference I used the stock wheel size to compare things to. Such as +50 being sunk I figured +20 Flush and anything from +19 and under would be poking out or hellaflush whatever.

Maybe this idea is just horrible though and nobody cares, if thats the case. Oh well.

It's camber and tire size dependent. Ride height affects how it looks as well. Like if you put 30mm spacers on a stock 8 it would be outside the fender. On my car it would be sunk though.

Yea, I wasnt taking anything to make certain set-ups into account. I guess the chart would more less just be a good reference as to about where the wheel would be sitting and im sure people that are looking for very aggressive set ups would not even need it.

IDK its just something I was thinking about since right now im researching about what size/offset I want to sit where I want it to.

I guess ill make something up tomorrow and see what people think about it. If anything I can always take it down. But I think it would be helpful for certain people.

If it reduces the number of questions I field in the Will It Fit thread, you will have my blessing. Atilla was supposed to make one like a decade ago, but he has been super lagging.

I think it should reduce a majority of the questions as far as offset and width goes, unless people are completly retarded.

This is kind of tough cause keep in mind different width with the same offset can be categorized in different categories of the 3. i was actually thinking of making something similar myself so people can jsut reference it and not ask, but to be honest i dont feel confident and have enoughh knowledge to make one. If you know enough i say go for it but it would be tought cause like i said different width with same offset would be different on how much the wheel sticks out. Try asking ross_dawg, J, and tiltmode for help and maybe you guys can work something out. GL.

Good intentions, but IMHO won't work. Camber, tire size, ride height, and fender work, and subjective opinion will all make a difference.

The most helpful chart would be one that shows various fitments that fit with no fender roll, then some setups that fit with just a fender roll. That would answer loads of questions methinks.

Not sure if you guys can tell from this pic but:



Looking to throw some 15mm or 20mm on my stockers to get a better/more aggressive stance. Looking to get more flush, but not planning on rolling fenders just yet. Any idea if I can pull it off without issues?

lmk if you need better pics to judge

If the series II is the same as the series I then I would get some 25mm spacers if I were you but im not for sure its the same.
