    What kind of offset would be reasonable for a 8 1/2" or 9" rim on an ae86, without having to go N2 spec flares. Looking to keep steel guards just hand flare them to their maximum flarage and still have a bit of tyre extend past the guard.

    Don't want to rush into buying new wheels and have the offset be way too big or too small.

    If you think about it. 15x7 0 offset sits flush with stock guards, flared guards, gives you another 20mm? So a 15x9 0 offset will be another 25.4mm wider each side. So you've just filled flared guards. And depending on offset. Ie: -15. You're wheel should be roughly(Gives or take a few mill, assuming the width of the wheel is actualy 9 inches) about 40.4mm (1.59 inches) wider on the outside face. So should clear flared guards by around about 20mm.

    Don't hold me to anything I say. I'm usually wrong.

    Edit: Wow, just pretty much answered my own question.

    As I said, don't hold me to anything. Just taking a rough guess at most of it.
