What offsets for 9 and 10.5 wide wheels
I'm planning to lower the car about an inch or 1.5 inches and want to run wheels that are 20x9 and 20x10.5. Curious whats the lowest offset anyone has been running without rubbing (with or without rolling fenders).
I'm using an offset calculator but i'm not sure how many mm's of play i have to the struts and maybe my eyes are bad but it looks like my stock amg 19" wheels are already quite flush to the outer fender edge.
Thanks all!

What kind of issues did you experience with +25 offset and 20s? It seems like many members are running 20s and even 21s in the rear without issues.

I think I ended up with 32et. I turned the spacer down about 7
theres several problems it creates. you can only go so low, you have to trim the ball joints threads, you have scraping on the rear bumper, you only use certain tires, the wheels get bent, cant remember all of it. Im sure you will find some more
