offset questions.
im lookin at getting some drw's in 15x8's for my eg hatchy. they use backspacing and 5 inches of backspacing is equivalent to +12 offset. my biggg question is whats the most offset i can run without having too much negative camber? nothing more then like 2 or 3 degrees. and how much am i going to have to roll my fenders if i want to get something like +12, +19, or +25
i know that +25 is pushing it but it all kinda depends on how much you stretch your tires?
help me out, thanks

Re: offset questions.
Measure how much space there is between the fender and the wheels/tires you have now. Then compare offsets and widths to the wheels you're looking at. It's simple math (both wheels have a width and an offset), and the wheels you listed are about 1/4" difference in offset (+12, +19, +25) so you should be able to ballpark it pretty close. It's a good exercise in finding out what the specs mean and how to work with them.
