Question about FD wheel offsets

What offsets should i use with 8s in the front and 10s in the rear? Keep in mind that I'm using the pettit aero flares in the rear.

It would probably be easier to pick the wheels you want first, and then see if they have offsets which would work (that is unless you are buying custom wheels).

+35 front and +50 rear. Those are some funky sizes. What made you decide on that?

He's going to be running Pettit Rear flares, so he'll want the wheels out more than that. Probably around a +25 to +20 would work well with those fenders.

If you are going with an 8" wheel, I personally would go for a little more aggressive fitting in the front since you are adding larger rear wheels with flares. You'll have to roll the fenders for sure, but a +38 would be ideal.
