Message	9" wheels front and rear......+35 offset, but I am beginning to wonder if maybe they are +43...memory fails me it has been 8 years since buying them ...anyway, good luck getting much more flush than that. Those are 275's in the rear and 245's up front. The fronts may have room for more tire on the inboard side of the wheels, but I am not confident I can go 255 up front without at least adding ride height.....considering the 245's perform well, it really isnt an asspain I am willing to go thru when no need exists. So if your goal is to simply be "flush" with the plane of the fenders/body, then these sizes result in ^^^. If you also want to maximize every last mm of possible tread width, then you are going to have to get more creative with offsets and ride-height/alignment specs. I am totally satisfied with the traction for track day purposes and it is more than enough for street duty with 245/275 F/R combo and on MY Z understeer is no longer an issue once I ditched the eibach springs/OEM shocks.....but there are multiple ways to skin the understeer cat if track days are your thing and you even care. But if you are looking for "hellaflush" where you mount the wheel sideways and stretch a bicycle tire over the wheel in order not to rub or impact the fender itself in normal suspension travel......if THAT is what you are looking for, then these size/widths leave all kinds of room for retardation "We pretended to work, and they pretended to pay us." --Mikhail Khodorkovsky "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." --Winston Churchill "When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." --Benjamin Franklin "Government is not reason.
