low offset and it will fit...

there is a drifter on here with 18x10s on standard guards... look in the fc wheel fitment thread..

i have 18x10 +19 which i will try and squeeze under my stock fc guards too, but i dont think i would be able to drift on them.. my 17x9 +12s are real close already to my sway bar, etc on full lock with the supernow spacers

I'd try to shoot for 10.0", +0.
That should easily clear the stock suspension with almost any reasonable tire size.
You might be able to drop the offset down to +5...even down to +10.
With coilovers that give you added clearance, add another +10 on the offset.

the lowest they come is +12 so a 10/12mm spacer with 30mm fenders should work then?

+12 will barely fit with certain coilovers and certain offsets.

I used spacers on my 17x10 +12 to clear and the effective offset was close to +5.

this year I run closer to a +10 and it fits nicely.

with just the right combination of coilover and tire setup and spring perch height you can fit a 10" wheel with a +12 offset.

tein flex.

the spring and perch is right where the tire wants to be... if I ran springs 2" shorter then they would be farther up and away from the tire, gving me an extra maybe half inch of clearance but I like the rates and springs and can work with it the way they are.
