offset for 18x9.5inch wheels

hows the fitment on 45mm offset for 9.5? is the outter edge of the rim flush with the fenders or is it slightly inner?

would a 35mm offset have rubbing problems for 9.5 inches or would it stick out too much or go in too much?

i would like the outer edge of the rims to be flush with most outter edge of the fender if possible

im running tein s-techs btw

What size are your tires?

I was thinking of a similar setup until I saw this:

I just called and the guy said "I think" 20-21

I really like the way they look though, but they don't support our TPMS

there's so much misinformation on this subject that it's pathetic, and it really POs me when people link to my posts on subjects they have no understanding of for the purpose of spreading their ignorance.

If I did this I'd have to go for a lower profile tire. That just looks like too much rubber for me. How would this setup affect handling; no change, little change, omg this sucks? Because I'm thinking that 18x8.5s w/ a 45mm offest will still look kinda narrow. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks!
