Buying some wheels and wondering what you guys think of this offset

Offset: +15 front +25 Rear ???? Is it good? Should the wheels sit pretty flush with the fenders or will spacers be needed?

You'll have to post up what width wheels you're using. Otherwise offsets are useless.

For reference my offsets are +20 all around with 8.5 F and 9.5 R

So you'd be 5mm less tucked in front and 5mm more tucked in the rear.

Without a doubt, yes. Still might want a 5mm spacer on the rear, but you could always install that later if you're not happy with the look. Should look pretty good.

offset is the distance btwn the center line of the wheel and the mounting hub

so basically the lower the offset the more the wheel will stick out
