There 24mm offset for my wheels. So throw on a 275, that should be close to the fender. Add an inch, or the 1.18" spacers would be better i think.
Mine are 26mm offset. And what kind of tires are you going with? Hopefully not the same ones I have in that picture. :nono:

I have a 04 rear in my 95...so if I were to get spacers to make them poke a bit more what size should I get? I'm on 245/45/17's and 17x9's...tires are a hair under flush with the wheel well...1/2in spacers maybe?

Ooo nom nom. So my 24mm would stick out more or a drop less? I'm goin with continental extreme contact dws. Sick tires, awesome traction in any condition.
Joe go with some Proxies :)
Nahh lol I need all seasons. I slide enough as it is now on these shitty goodyear eagle gt's haha

Also instead of guessing why don't you make a accurate measurement and order once. Put said wheel on, set down on ground, then tape a 24" peace of string to the top of the wheel arch and tie a nut or bolt to the end of the string. Then measure the distance and order away.

Soo get the tires and then measure

Or do the math out.
Follow what Wichers said with the string and nut, take the width of the tires you're going to get, subtract the width of current tires, divide that by 2 to get the number for how further out on one side the tire will come out, then take that number and convert it to inches, subtract it from the number you got from your measurements, and bam you have the measurement of how far the wheels can come until they're flush, use that to get figure out what spacer you want.
