40mm front, 35mm rear. Pretty much those wheels are horrible and will never be flush

How am I wrong exactly ? I've personally ran wheels in 8.5+5 and 9.5+5, and they weren't flush yet. Here is 9.5+5 with a 285 and I still have plenty of clearance.


Maybe if you have no idea what you are talking about, you should listen to people who actually do so you don't look like an idiot

Once again you show how ignorant you are. You have a 9.5+35 wheel. I showed you how flush a 9.5+5 wheel is with a fat tire on there. For you to get similar fitment you need 35mm spacers, which are not made, therefore your wheels will never be flush

So best results would be to go for a 25mm in the front and a 20mm in the back? Would i have to roll my fenders?

Listen to Redlude he knows what he's talking about. Even if he is being negative you dont have to act like hes not telling you of correct info, when you are the one being ignorant. Those are not good offsets for the coupe, so putting spacers will get them close to flush but not "flush".
