It depends on how low you are dropping also, the lower the offsets the more flush it would be.

If its flush, then yes you will definitely have to roll your fenders. The offsets that will look good and fit your car depend on how low you are, how much camber you are running and what tire sizes you have. Search around for different wheel and tire setups. How flush are you looking to be? Do you want to run stretched tires? How low are you?

well i didnt slam my ride yet, but im planning to see what it would look like with the rims on, then decide, cause i want my car low enough to only see the top of the tire. as for tire size itll prob be 245/19/35 i think it was and 275/19/45?? cant remember the exact specs. and i want the camber to just be parallel. dont want it too aggressive i guess and no stretched tires. From the actual outside part of the fender, i probably want it about half an inch from it. so its not perfectly flush, or sticking out.
thanks for the help

Run 285/30/19 and 245/35/19 (or if you want for meat on the tires 285/35/19 245/40/19)

You could also go 275 if you wanted to.

Lower the offsets, the better, I say drop the car first then see how flush you wanna go. You're looking at around +10

i have Volk GTS. Same specs youre looking at but with spacers.
19x9.5 +17 (+7)
19x10.5 +18 (+3)

275/35/19
245/35/19

Dropped on Tein S-Techs with -3.5 camber in the rear (i dont have front Camberkit.. yet). Planning to get coils soon.

Fenders Rolled&Flared by me. i kinda went overboard on the flaring and i went a little too close where the fender and rear bumper meet.

You achieved -3.5 camber without camber arms and on springs???

I was told I need camber arms to get -3.5

nice ride jayk, but the thats a bit too much for me, i think i want it half an inch inside rather than perfectly flush like yours. and i want 0 camber as well.

ive been given the specs of +23 for front and +18 at the rear. does that sound right to you guys?

Ps you can't have zero degrees of camber or your car will handle like crap. Factory camber specs are around negative two in the rear, a little less in the front if I can remember correctly.

Depends on the situation... for standard highway driving you can run a true setup. Max youll get is about -0.8 camber and it savessss tires.

I dont understand why people are so scared of a little camber, just buy tires that you can flip and your good!
