Highest Concavity?

Hello, I'm wondering what the highest amount of inches of concavity that you can get in the front and rear wheel on a 2011 Sedan. And if you can, translate it from inches into offset (ET) thanks

Not much, our offset sucks & are too high to get any concavity.

If u stay at stock height, u can always get more concavity like 19x10 +45, but they will stick out pass the fenders a bit.

If dropped, u would need 19x10 +53 & higher.. so bye bye concave wheels!! lol

Im not worried about them sticking out beyond the fender because I can always fix that with camber, but say I was running coilovers and had it dropped thennn I had wheel spacers on the front and back, do you think this would make any difference?

Spacers will not help, it will only push ur wheels out furthermore causing more rubbing.

Plus there is only a bit of camber u can adjust in the rear. Not worth the excessive tire wear u will get vs the little concavity our cars will get.
