why not measure? Tape measure and calculator you could figure out exactly the offset you need

I understand backspacing more than offset. Is there a way to convert the measurement that 8 get?

if the wheels u have now, sat flush on his coupe... they have to be around the 0-+15 mark. if you want to know for sure, pop a wheel off and look inside the spokes. it should be stamped in there

Not possible as that would require a fender roll and pull. Maybe the +15 is the closest but I think that would poke too much without a pull.

When I had coupe 19's, 19x8.5 +33 was almost flush. I'd say as someone suggested that since they were flush on a coupe and poking on your sedan, it's probably a +20 to +25 and someone mentioned a +15 to +25 already I believe.

There are guys running about +20 but they did a fender roll and I believe a pull. Now that I think about it more I'm going to say high teens to low 20's for the offset...again, it all depends on the drop that you have and the coupe had.

It's been expressed a couple times but put it this way..See the pic that was posted in the 2nd post? It sits pretty straight. Lower it 1" and it's going to tuck. Now, what if the coupe you got the wheels from was sitting higher? What if it was lower? You're talking about quite a difference if it was sitting 1" lower or 1" higher. That's 2" and quite a difference so nobody is going to be able to tell or give you a good rough estimate without knowing the drop of that coupe or even knowing the drop of your car to figure out an estimate.

totally possible. my t1s are 9.5/10.5 +5 all around and they fit with no fender work. im pretty slammed, tucking tire. granted i have a little stretch but i could easily throw a 5-10mm spacer under them and still not need a pull

I thought I answered this. If it was flush on a coupe with no drop and factory chamber most likely the rims are 10in width w/ +10 to +15 offset. Thats why it sticks out your sedan fenders 3/4 inch

but it only pokes on his sedan about 3/4 inch. If it's flush on his coupe at stock height and pokes about 3/4 in, my guess would be an offset of about +20... maybe as high as +24.

edit: +1 on donpisto's breakdown

Can't be. I had -3.8 degrees of camber and with a 10.5 +0 I was sticking out about an inch with a little pull. That equates roughly to a 10.0 -7, so it's gotta be higher than the +10 to +15. The 10.5 +0 was sitting flush on a coupe with a drop (cookie monster's old setup) and no camber arms. He was low, raise it back to OEM height and he's gonna be poking out quite a bit.
