Here is some pictures of wheels under the car. Comes a bit out, but not much. I will roll up fender lips and strech fenders out a bit. I believe that they will fit just perfect.

I don't think there's any way in hell those are going to work with the stock fenders, no matter what you do to them, but good luck.

Might require a BFH. The 10 +25 will stick out 10mm more than my crazy 11 +48s (pic below):
Whatever you do, don't resort to the ghetto Pettit flares.

As for the not getting grease on my white shirt, that's a pretty lame-*** statement. Trying to insult someone for buying parts that are actually PROPER for the car instead of mangling the fenders just to fit some average width tires comes off as pretty damn dumb. I also couldn't care less about any magazine that would put your car on the front cover.
My car isn't stock -- the exception is all of my mods are actually functional and improve the performance of the car. And if you don't think you get greasy installing an aftermarket oil cooler kit, I've got news for you...

rynberg...you "altitudinal"
Drift, your orginal post was to ask for correct offsets for your Buddy Clubs wheels. And even after alot of patient and nice post about correct fitments, you didn't seem to comprehend the advice. Looking from the outside and reading the post by Rynberg, I don't think he has been inappropriate at all. He took time to post to help you to save you some headache as you requested "proper ET's" as you stated. If you knew you were going to put fender flares or stretch your fenders you should have just stated that and saved yourself from posting this thread

Must have tubular trailing arms, no fender lips (not even sure you can roll them for this fitment as the inner fender causes binding at such a severe angle) , and 2.5" springs. Rear only of course

You're right, we're all just jealous of your fucked up wheels.
