i'm gonna run 8.5/9.5 on 245/35f 265/30r. offset 35-45 depending on whats available (should i go low and anticipate spacers?). this sound right for a32? do the jdm center caps fit?

Since there is no lip on this design, there is no point getting a low offset. That design lends itself to being tucked hardcore, so low offsets arent as important as making sure you can hide at least a few inches of rim inside your guard

i understand your point, but the offset also helps the wheel sit flush (eg a 19x9.5 w/0 offset will extend farther than the same wheel with a +40mm offset). you think stayin as close to the factory offset is best? the wheel is already 2.5" wider than stock and my rear camber is not adjustable. tire sizes sound good? not into the strecth thing yet.

Venerdi Hereborrani CL105 is the Japanese name

And there is a point in getting low offset besides flush fitment: if your wheels are 2.5" wider than your stockers but same offset, you might run into clearance issues on the suspension side (maybe, I have no idea what it's like in there), so it's something to consider.

the room in the rear is pretty good and its better to run a 45mm offset and space it out as necessary instead of getting a 35mm offset and worrying about the fender or it sticking it out because adjusting rear camber with the rear beam is... uhhhmm how shall we say.... difficult

I know for sure the inner fender has to be rolled or trimmed either way you go

35mm will work in the front you might have minor rubbing issues but with the 45mm you will definitely rub against the inner fender well when you turn lock to lock maybe get a 45 and a 5mm spacer

run the lower offset wheel. it's only 10mm, and you could do a SMALL roll/pull and clear everything. it'll be sure to clear the inside coilovers that way.

sounds like a plan... you could do 35 front 45 rear with 245 front and 265 rear

Don't these Ven/MRR wheels have more of a sunken face with lower offsets?

yeah... didn't think about that. already ordered 8.5" 35mm offset front with the 9.5" 45mm. by my quick math the rear should still be a lil more concave than the front... hope so.
