HELP : offsets needed for 9.5 10.5 rims

I am looking to order some new 20x9.5 20x10.5 wheels but I don't know what offsets to get. I have rolled fenders and eibach prokits. I want the wheels flush with the fender. The rims will be stretched on 235/35 and 255/35 tires. Can anyone give me an idea on the offsets to get?
thank you.

^^^ thats about an inch past fender line = quit a bit of neg offset...

OP when you say "flush" - you should clarify... my idea of flush is exactly what it says = right to edge of fender... others idea of flush is a type of look that usually includes lots of neg camber and stretched tires...

so I guess it depends on what you are after...

Edit - I re-read and he's stretching tire a bit... if the tire width clears you an inch or so from fender line then offsets Vivek posted might work... but the rim itself will be sticking out - then again, that might be what you are after

yea itll look weird on springs. should go more conservative i guess. prolly 35 and itll be perfect without sticking out too much

remember you cant go to high upfront with the offsets with a 9.5 cause it can hit the suspension.

my definition of flush is to the edge of the fender. i am not looking for my wheels to stick out past the fender edge.

9.5/10.5 is with stretch is not for the conservative.

I'd suggest you go with a 9/10 245/35 front and 275/30 rear. +35 front and +38 rear.

That will be just flush.

then 9.5 would need to be +45-48 and 10.5 would be +60 or so...

That's why you see so many guys running so much negative camber on sedans... typically you cant go that wide without running real high offsets.

8.5 +35 is almost perfectly flush (very slightly tucked in)... so 9 +35 is gonna be close, but 10 +38 will be farther than flush (at least on my car - pre-flare)... he's looking at 9.5 and 10.5 though.

thank you all for your help. everything makes perfect sense. looks like i will have to run some neg camber and live with the wheels sticking out a bit.

oh damn nice!!! hmmm get coilovers first tho. and a rear camber kit as well. You wud def have to pull the rear a decent amount to make it not hit the fender, also around -4 camber rear, or more. i mite go a little more aggressive as well, but i need a pull first.

9.5+6 run a 225/35 your gonna need a really small pull upfront

10.5+12 235/35 and a slight pull will be needed.

and im hoping that youll dumpt your car.
