are you going to have the wheels filled and redrilled from 5x120 to 4x100? or use adapters?
if you use adapter, you'll probably need 20-25mm. that'll bring your offset to 0 or +5.

by the way, you should ask this question on stanceworks or wrongfitmentcrew. the folks around here are more function>form.

Yea i would redrill them i know adapters is way to much poke. It is more function really i am not slamming it i just wanted to know if the poke would be rediculous and if i would clear the struts and shocks

Oh okay i see him now. in your opinion with those wheels at stock height or just a mild drop would be to much poke since the car will not be slammed or have negative camber

I can probably get the offset shaved to about et 25 which i dont think would be to bad. What are you rubbing on the inner part or the fender flares on the out side

its on the inner part but its rubbed enough to make the plastic come lose. I do have 225 tires on it tho which is part of the problem. the 35 offset is perfectly flush with the fenders so 25 will still poke out so if you do go with that your going to want 205 tires with a stretch. If you lower it your going to have to go 205 otherwise its gonna rub them away in a few days. Or you can always have a shop roll your fenders

Depends on how far the 25 offset sticks out i don't know how much more extreme another 10 mm would be. A little rub on the inside is ok but the outside is a problem. Yes only the rear rubs with my setup. If you plan on ever lowering it id advise don't go over a 30 or 35 offset because your going to have alot of problems. i kno a 205/40 tire is a little shorter than the 205/45 tire that might work but i really cant say.

A mild drop, some 205/45/17s and some camber front and rear. I think you can pull it off. You can get fixed camber plates for the front pretty cheap.
