Just remember, the higher the offset, the more it sits inside the wheel well. It's true that most of the people lower their car for the aesthetic. If you go the wrong way, you will be fender rolling, bending tabs and going negative camber. Here is my set up. Volks TE 37 M-Spec. 19x9.5 offset +44 on Advan Apex 265/35/19. I'm not even lowered and no rubbing at all, even on "Comfort"

If you want the least chances of rubbing at all go +45. +38 sits almost flush, I think +35 sits a lot better aesthetically. You really dont rub much if at all on +38, only on bumps if lowered.
Yeah wish there were more options besides +38 or +45 offset at 9.5" width. I'm almost -3 degrees up front and -3.4 rear and I probably have room to run a more aggressive 9.5" offset 10" width around similar offsets without rubbing on uncut fenders. I'm on the train that +45 offset at 9.5" width isn't "flush".

the front fenders were shaved and the rears were cut/shaved.
if done right, you cant even tell that any work was done.

this is x10 +41 with -1.8F -2.2R camber and 275/35 RT615K+ lowered on swifts.
x10 +41 fits similar to x9.5 +35

Your FK8 sits perfectly. I remember watching yours getting its fenders worked on (I was the appointment after you lol). What suspension are you running nowadays?

Definitely not flush but probably a bit more functional as you can probably get away with a fatter tire easier on that offset.

For a show car, its +38 or below FTW. +35 imo is perfect on 9.5 inch wheel.

I ran 18x9.5 +38 before, but I didn't like how much it was rubbing and I switched to 18x9.5 +44. 265/35/18

Interesting, do you have any clue how far down you were dropped?

I dont know much about the DWS, aside from them being all seasons.

Your X factor is that youre on coils and not dropped like the typical FK8 owner on springs. I have a friend on the same coils on +35 Titans and only experienced back rub on 275 RT660.

Are you lowered on that set up? I had had to get +45. Everting else was discontinued.
