hmmm ok last question,

I want to put a staggered set up on my car without rolling and I am not gonna drop it.
What width and offset would work without modifying?

thanks

9.5 +43-45 will be the safest bet.

Like I said 9.5 +40 should work but no way to guarantee it won't rub 100%

What offset on a 11" wheel will be equivalent to a 9.5 -3?

Anybody can correct me, but I'm pretty sure it's +15

What size wheel? I am running 20's with that exact spec (20x10.5 -6) with 235/35 and I have a SPC camber kit with ~3* camber with a pretty decent pull on the fender to clear.

The experts may chime in, but I think you will need to get tires with more stretch and either add negative camber, pull your fenders or go real low...

That may be true, I hear aggressive 19's are easier to fit

You need coils or you're going to be buckling those fenders in your first week.

Buy coilovers and go from there...

Why are coils necessary?

To be stiff enough so the tires don't hit the fenders.

You will also not be low enough to pull off this low of an offset. The car will look goofy at that height with the size of tires you're going to have to run.

Gotcha, The thing is i already have tires on and my current set up is 10.5\30\275 front and 11.5\30\295 and I really dont want to buy new tires. Plus my old back right tire blew out the other day so im trying to get my new set up on as soon as possible so i dont have to buy another tire for the time being. That being said Im not trying to buckle my fenders and spend more money so im at a cross road with the situation lol
