    The first sticky in this area (http://www.grandprixforums.net/got-s...ere-29622.html) has some pretty good information regarding rules of thumb for wheel sizes/offsets. I'm wondering if this information also applies to 04+ or if the wheel offset guidelines are more lenient or stringent. That being said, my main concern is running 18s with a +32 offset without first rolling the fenders, most likely with 245s on them. I do plan on rolling the fenders eventually, but probably not until summer before I lower. I just don't wanna buy some wheels, have them appear to work fine, but then come to find my fenders are destroying the tires.

    I have a feeling a +32 offset is too aggressive without rolling though :/

    This is better news than I was expecting. Would I be pushing it too much to lower it on them without rolling? lol

    Em you may be pushing it being lowered. It's possible you may not need though only real way to find out you trying it out but I would still roll them when you lower it in case you have people in the back or anything in the trunk weighing it down.

    its possible you'll have to roll even at stock height, but i'm nearly 100% sure it would just be a slight roll in the back. the fronts are usually pretty good.

    but realistically speaking, rolling the fenders might take up a few hours of an afternoon on a weekend. i would do it just so it's done.

    I'm assuming your fenders are rolled?
