What offset to use w/ Mariah wide front fenders

I am curious what offset is recommended for the somewhat flared Mariah front fenders-not the ones that are part of the bodykit. Also, how subtle are they? I wouldn't want to skew my TIIs beautiful proportions. Could ya post a pic or direct me to one Boosted 7? Thanks!

There is a correlation between the offset AND the width of the wheel, relative to how the wheel sits. You cannot just specify an offset without knowing what width you want to use.

For example, a 18X9 +40 would have 1/2 in sliced off both sides of the wheel vs a 18X10 +40.

Therefore, if you were to exchange the two wheels, all else being equal - the 18X10 would stick out of the fender 1/2in (as well as closer to the suspension bits on the inside)

Hope that helps!
