request most aggressive offset on 8.5/10 for a sedan

Anyone who is running this combo? If so can you provide me your offset info and disk type (no BBK). Thanks.

ive gone though a few set of 20" wheels in those sizes.

the offsets ranged from 40-45 for the 10" rear (dont go lower than 40!)

i have had a 38 and 40 for the 8.5" fronts

I'm going to be going with an 8.5/9.5 +25 all around setup when i order my wheels. I'll be running a 235/35/19 front and 255/35/20 rear with -2.0 camber all around.

You can go very aggressive if you're willing to deal with increased tire wear from negative camber and if you buy a front and rear camber kit to dial in camber.

I really don't see the point to running those offsets on a sedan. I'm not trying to be negative or anything just wondering what kind of look you are going for. Post up pics when you get them on the car.

i'm going for the aggressive setup that no one has ever tried on a sedan. Everyone goes with something above 35. I'm going to push the limits on the sedan like nobody ever has.

I surely hope you can pull it off Gdup'. I wouldn't think you would try it unless you knew you could. Good luck.

Yeah, i know it'll fit, it just needs a little tweaking. I wouldnt spend $3500 on wheels and tires to have em not fit.

I like your answer. I am also wanting to see the potential on the sedan with shaving or roll the fenders.

PROPS do what you gotta do playa. props for when you get them. i was also gonna do it. i was going to go VIP with those same specs..well, maybe a little less, probably +35 or something, but alex at status got me thinking: with all the crappy roads her in socal and especially the 91w and 710, and all the crappy crappy streets here in LB, do i really want to push that kind of setup? not really. i wanted a conservative setup that still gave me some lip and still looked good. so i got 8.5 +38 in front and 10 +44 in the rear. that alone still gave me alot of negative camber and pushed my wheels out quite a bit. but with the help of a camber kit, its perfectly flushed with my rear fenders. so i think its not a bad choice.

We'll since i already had the Sevas which was pretty aggressive in the rear with a 275, i fit em in with -1.5 camber and still had room, i put em at -3.8 and had TONS of room. So I'll be pushing it right to the edge with a 9.5 +25 255/35/20.

I know the front will fit no problem because i have a a 9 +30 on with a 225 right now and it has room to spare. So the decrease in width and the lower offset will fit perfect.
