That led me to believe i won't need fenders at all. That car has stock fenders and still sits flush.

Is there a better offset i can use for the front to sit flush?
I just got a set of Gullflames, same fitment (18x9.5 +15). No tires yet, sorry... still trying to figure out what size I need. Here's what they look like on the front of my S14. Stock fenders, no roll or pull so far. The car is obviously off the ground... this is just to show how far out the wheels go.







If I get tires with stretched sidewalls, I can probably get away with no spacers up front. With vertical/flush or slightly larger (bulged) sidewalls I'd get 5-10mm spacers to make sure the tires clear the coilovers.

I'm not slamming the car, and I don't plan on drifting it... much. Any suggestions on tire size?
