Your question is written a bit awkward
I'm no offset wizard but this might help the other ep hatchers answer.

You can run whatever offset you want with or without modification.
Are you asking, what is the lowest offset you can run without modification?
Is your car dropped?
Also, wheel width comes into factor.

i want to run a 0 offset but im askin if i need to roll my fenders or stretch my tires or put in some spacers.

Okay
assuming the skunk2's are 2" in the rear
You'll have to roll your fenders in the rear.
Stretching is more along the lines "if you want to" not "you have to"

I'd say maybe try a +10. then get a spacer if you want to run 0
but
I'm no guru at wheels.

Find somebody with the same spec wheel as you, and mount it on and see how it sits

i had the gold jmags before and i thnk it only looks good on yellow cars. its one of those weird things. the other is ok as well. do what u like and dont worry what other ppl think. rota is an ok brand depending on who u ask.

i believe the 16s with the 40 offset will fit fine witout rubbing unless you run some big tires. the 17 you might rub a bit if u arent rolled in the rear. i rub slightly in the rear and i have my fenders rolled.

Odd...i got the same +0 offset rims. I rolled my fenders and did everything i could to avoid the rear rubbing but still wouldnt stop rubbing. Your drop is a half inch lower then mine too. i had to just camber the rear. what size tires and rims you rockin?

10-04-2010, 07:23 PM

thanks, like mentioned before tho, it needs a drop. not my concern right now since i want more hp, and i always have ppl in my car and going over speedbumps sucks scraping all the time. But with a two in drop i have a 1 finger gap in the rear and a two finger gap in the front
