What I remember VQ hotness said he would go 10mm if he did it again. That would bring the wheel to a 40 offset and they would still tuck. It all depends on you, and probably how low you were going might play a role too.

Why would these rub?? I have an 05X that i don't plan on dropping, and want to get a set of these. Will they run without a drop?? What kind of spaces do I need to get for the perfect offsets??

The offest for the m45 wheel are a 50+, so that put the wheel to much in and it get really close to the suspension. VQ Hotness ran a 5mm and it was good. Another guy ran a 10mm and they were close of being flush. Also they should run np without a drop.

20mm spacers wont rub, and i'm dropped 1.3" in the front. how would i know, i have a buddy who has 25mm all around, with the same drop, BARELY rubbing, unless hitting a bump to fast.

You have a coupe, he has a sedan. Two different offsets. As for a 15, I am going to say maybe. That would bring it to a +35 and right now I am a +35 with 20x8.5 but I got some neg chamber going.

sorry i meant rubbing for the rears. I just got 10mm spacers put in for the front, but am wondering how tucked the rear will look without spacers. And if 15mm will rub the fenders in the rears.
