Default Wheel Offsets

Okay, so heres the deal. im going to be getting the downforce front wide fenders soon. i already have some spoon overfenders. I know that the downforce front fenders are 30mm's and so are the spoon overfenders. My wheels are 18x7.5 Front and 18x8.5 Rear +45 all around. Im thinking about buying spacers. what size spacers should i buy to make my wheels look flush/good with the new fenders?

If i choose to go buy new wheels, what offset should i get if i was to buy some wheels at 18x9 all around?

Sorry, offsets give me such a headache, even looking at the diagrams that are provided i still get confused.

Wheels are going to be one of the most complicated add-ons to your car look wise. If your gonna run wider fenders, i highly recommend that you get wider wheels. Offsets really depend on the style of the wheel. wider wheels will allow you to fill up more of the wheel well. however just because your wheel is wider doesnt mean that it will fit on the car with wider fenders.

Long story short, wheels are a challenge and it really depends on what type of look your trying to get.

PM if you have any further questions!!

I wouldn't do spacers... I would sell your current ones and buy lower offset wheels. You should wait til you have the wider fenders to determine how much of a lower offset you'll need/want
