were not talking sedan. he asked about what offset would sit flush on a COUPE. b/c the wheels he has now came from a coupe and on that car, they sat flush.

Doubt it's going to sit flush on a coupe at OEM height. You need it to be dropped some.

flush really is a matter of opinion. we see it everyday...someone posts up a car they consider "hella flush" and we laugh them away. to the OP, as i stated eariler, just pull a wheel and look inside to see if the offset is stamped.

sorry Erk and Henry, you're 3.5 degrees of camber makes any and all argument from you irrelevant to what we're all discussing...OEM camber and offsets. Your wheels on a sedan at OEM camber and ride height would probably stick out well more than 1-inch on a sedan that is not dumped. So your suggested range of 10-15 is wrong. It's gotta be between 20-30 (more likely 25-30).

Also offset guessing on our parts would be a lot easier if the OP would have told us the wheel brand from the get-go because some brands are just predictable when it comes to Z/G offsets.

truth. i hadnt noticed he said no drop in the op. flush/ no drop... youre looking +20-+25. think about the oem 19s, +30-+33, they dont sit flush at oem height.

ok. so the rim is 10 wide. from the outside lip to the backside of the hub. (or where it mounts to the car) is 4 inches exactly. which means its offset exactly 1 inch. or 25mm. is that correct? so i have a 18x10 offset 25?

IF THAT IS CORRECT. i can now ask my next question. haha. yes there is another question that goes with me now knowing this info.

the rear of my sedan has NO drop. at the moment. i want to drop it 1 inch. with z springs. as of right now. when i put 2 people in the back or hit big bumps the tires hit the quarters panels. if i drop it an inch im thinking its going to hit even harder since it will be closer. do you guys think i will have to do a fender roll to drop it just an inch? and NO i am not running a stretched tire on it. i have a 275/35/18

drop it first, get a cambered-in, o-toe alignment and see how that works for you. if it doesnt work out then you will need to roll your rear fenders.
