im starting to look for a track wheel, have my eye on a 18x9.5 30 offset (front and rear) and running a 255 wide sticky/track duty tire. I currently have my rear fenders trimed but will i need a roll or a pull? these wheels will be for pretty agressive hot lapping track days

Ross - You ran those 9.5 +27's? How come we never saw pics?

I was telling you that a lower offset is not good for the suspension geometry.
My point was not that you could fit a wider tire on a higher offset...Even though that is true as well..
If your looking for a dedicated Track wheel, stop trying to get below a +35mm offset.

Long story short I had them for a week and in the process of moving out of CA they were stolen. (I have FedEx to blame for that; I know they took them)Basically I couldnt fit them in the car so I had FedEx ship them but they were "stolen". I have a thread on here to keep eyes out for a set of nt03's with RA1's

I'd like to know what is the lowest offset you can go on a 17x10 with 275 tires without pulling the fenders, rolling OK. I love the flush look but I also like to be able to fit the most rubber possible, can I have the best of both worlds

Alright since everyone completely blew off my last question I'll try asking a different way...
Looking for flush, is it possible with a 18x9-9.5 with 30-35 mm offset on the rear or do I gotta bump down to the 20's? The height will be lower than stock but it's not going to be slammed or a tucked style. What's the most practical tire for this, 255 or 265? To have the front flush with the rear I presume offset should be, another 10mm more to compensate (no pun Kane)? So perhaps a 18x8.5-9 at 35-40? Also I prefer a deep lip and realize that rolling may be required depending on my drop.
