I want to run wide tires, something like 245s or 255s

Are my wheel widths suitable?
And if so,
What offset and tire size should I get to sit flush?

225 or 235 fronts on a 9" wheel. 255 rears on a 10" wheel. Those will both fit just right. 228.6mm = 9in. 254mm =10in.


Offset really depends where your definition of "flush" is , your ride height and how much camber your running with your setup. You could be "flush" with about 20-25mm of window in offset depending on the above stated settings.

Dont do this. 255s look like silly on a 9"wheel. All huge, squeezed, and round. Let alone trying to turn the car after that. Rubbbbb City!

Okay so Ive decided 235s in front and 255s in back
With a 9 inch wheel in front and 30mm overs, am I safe to get a 0 offset adjust the flushness with spacers? Or will it be sticking out of the fender well. I am planning on using 0* of camber

And should I go with a -10 offset for my 10 inch wheels in the back to achieve the same goals? Again, I am going to run 0* of camber, and maybe adjust as necessary.
