Okay, I got 15mm offset for the fronts so I'm sure that will be perfect.
Would I have to run the vented corksport fenders or are the other ones fine? I have a stock body FC and would hate to put the vented fenders on there and I'm having trouble finding Shineauto fenders for sale...

You can run any 20-30 mm fender, you're not limited to the ones I mentioned

these are 17x9 and 18x10.. anyone have any idea what offset and tires i should run to get that look? I want to get the same stance and look but with CCW classics.
I have dreamed of CCW classics as well.
The width is pretty much free, so I would go for max rim width by going as far in and out as I could and still be able to get a stretched tire to tuck into the fender.
Basically, offset dictates what tire width you can fit as it centers the tire in the wheel well.
So if you decide you are willing to do the work necessary for a 225 to fit with a +10 offset up front (lots of negative camber and a slight fender lip roll as you pictured) you could do 18x10 +10 with 225 up front.
If you are willing to do the work to fit a 245 in the back with a +10 offset (moderate fender roll as pictured) you could run a 18x11 +10 with 245 out back.
Just saying, if you can get any fitment you can dream up, no need to go skinny on the rims.
People with *actual* experience concerning low offsets feel free to chime in.

my main goal is to keep stock body, fender rolling is not a problem so long as it doesn't get to the point where they look flared out. I have stance GR+ coil overs and correct my ignorance if i'm wrong but the stock camber plates don't give you much to work with. Would I need to upgrade camber plates for my current coilovers?
). Same with the rear also. You're going to need to run alot of neg camber since you don't want flares, and you're going to need something like 215's in the front and 235's in the rear(You'll have the streched look basically).What I've seen people do with their shock towers is they cut some of it out(To the point where the camber plate will be fully adjustable) and reinforce it.

Apparently the rear may have issues with rubbing and may require a slight pull.
If I recall correctly, the picture with the white FC is running 18x10 +20 in the rear, can anyone confirm this? Or know what suspension setup he/she is running?

But.... the white car you posted has the flared out fender look.
You will have a hard time getting the look of the wheels sticking out from the body and the stretched tires fitting into the wheel wells without this flare as the flare shape matches the stretched sidewall shape and allows for the little bit of travel you have before the tire hits the fender lip.
If you just roll the fender lips under front and rear so it doesn't look flared you could do a fitment close to the front of white car you pictured front and rear, but the way the rear wheel in the white car is way outside the body won't work out so well.

OK, I've searched and checked out the threads and I'm pretty confident, but it'd be nice to hear someone agree that i'll be good...
So, I want Enkei RPF1 17x9 all around running 255/40s. If I grab all 4 wheels with +22mm offset i'm going to be good right? The car will have Panspeed overfenders in front, and just some rolling or lipping in back to suit.
Coilovers of course...
All good??

But based on my research, I have no personal experience yet, your front should be fine with the over fenders.
A 17x9 +22 with 255/40 tires should be plenty fine in the rear with a mild roll as well.
Again, I have no experience with this. This is solely based upon the research I've done.
Still waiting for additional input on a setup I plan on running. Tein flex and roll only. Looking for flush fit with mild stretch.
18x9 +24 235/40/18 or 225
18x10 +22 255/40/10 or 245

Thanks groovin... I've even found a few extra threads while googling since posting my question that indicate it should be fine.
I love it when people cram 10 inch wide wheels in the back of FCs!!!

I've seen some people pull it off, and apparently a person in teamfc3s (Aldr0n?) ran 18x10 +24 in the rear with just a roll. So I feel somewhat confident my setup may work but would like a few others to confirm it.
Worst comes to worse, anyone know of shops in SoCal that can mill 2-3mm off the hub of a wheel to increase offset?

Those are 11in in the back if you search that name at the bottom right it should take you to his flickr page.

I believe his said those where a +15 in the rear. or maybe a +8. I have 15x10 0 so I'm thinking that the +15 is closer to his spec, being 11in and all :/ here is a link to his page.

Over fenders would make it easier to clear. My brother is running the same setup. Panspeed fronts with 17x9+17 with 255's all around. But I'm running 255/40's 17x9+17 all around without any overfenders. Rolled pull and flared in the front, and rolled pull and slight flare in the rear.
To sum it all up, you're good to go!
