Ok guys. I have a 07 Mazda 3 lowered on pro kits and would like to get rims that will fill out the wheel well and extend flush with the fender if possible without rubbing issues.DO NOT want to roll out fenders! What do you guys suggest for the offset and what has worked well with you members. Thanks in advance,

search for pics of Mazda 3's with RX8 wheels....those are 8 inch width and have a +50 offset and seem to be a safe bet

IMO you could go +45 for a little more flush, but depending on the tire you could rub. A bit of camber in the rear can help with clearance

Yea, 45mm and up is a pretty safe bet!

I have 45 offset, lowered on pro-kits and I'm having issues with 235/40/18 tires and my fenders are rolled

so I'd say it also depends on tire size

Post photos of the look you are trying to achieve.

It'll be hard to look flush without rolling fenders and no rubbing. Not impossible, but very hard to achieve.

Like it was said, it'll be hard to be flush if you're going with a conservative offset. But if you don't want rubbing I believe you could go as far as +42?
