offset help please

i want to know whats the widest wheel/offset i can run on a 07 sedan without them sticking out past the fender lip AT ALL. i dont like the stretched tire look or anything that sticks past the lip of the fender. i also plan to bag or juice my sedan later down the line. but i want a staggered set of wheels and tires and the rear to have a nice lip.


ive tried to search, but most of what i see is sticking out past what id like.

WTF is juicing? like spray?

what's going to fit properly at your normal ride height is going to look very different when you're aired out. Coming from minitrucks you've probably dealt with a fair amount of solid rear axles?

If you come from multilink rear ends then you're going to understand camber quite well. So when you're up your offset to be flush and NOT stick out past the fender might be something like +40 on a 10 but when you're aired out, you'll be able to stick your fist between your wheel and inner fender.

I suggest you bag the car before you pick wheels.

If not...

Look for something like xx X9.5 +30 and xx X10.5 +42

Tire sizes depend on what diameter of wheels you want.

ya i know all about camber. ive been building trucks for over 10 years now. ive delt with a few with irs swaps and stuff like that. i know in the rear it will camber when layed out and a flush wheel will look more cambered. but im ok with that. i jsut want it flush when at ride height.

btw... juiced=hydrolics

id like a 9" front and a 10.5" rear with a 255/35 up front and a 295/30 rear probably.

Please do not hydro a car no matter what you do.

You're going to have a hard time fitting the 295 on the sedan without doing some fender work. You down for that?

Offsets apply, knock 6mm off the front offset (9 +24)

www.hydroholics.net is the only way id go. they make some awesome stuff for hydros. ride amazing. but im an air ride guy. ive had 6 bagged trucks.

as for the tires... i dont want to do any fender work. this isnt a project car for me to that extent. i have a major project im building now so this i just want a clean driver.

I use to work in a custom shop started my a mini trucker. I'm not a truck guy but I've worked on more S10s than most people have ever seen haha.

You'll have a tough time getting that 295 to fit in there, I'd recommend a 285/30 at the largest.

If you pick large 275s you won't have any kind of stretched look. Say a large tire like General UHPs, Invos or contisports.

You won't have an issue fitting those in the fenders though, just keep the offsets about 35 in the back and you'll be safe.

Any style of wheel you've been looking at?

lol. i actually am a fan of chrome. more of a billet fan than chrome but on this car i really dont want chrome. even though ive been looking at a few billet styles(maybe a brushed billet wheel in my future) i think would look good. but thats the minitrucker in me talking
