So I decided to make a sort of "guideline" for wheel fitment with offset.
This is a guideline. If you decide to stretch or squeeze tires onto a rim, you'll change clearance.
This is a guideline based on calculations from my 8.5 rear with a 42 offset.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
What I based it on: If a wheel is 1 inch wider, you will be .5 closer to the fender. It will need to be corrected by "offset" which is 25.4mm per inch. So if your wheel is 1 inch wider, half an inch needs to be corrected for with 12.7mm offset.
The setups listed below assume a normal sized tire and is the furthest you should push the wheel out.
Front wheels (With a conservative drop)
(7)..... +32
(7.5)..... +39
(8)..... +45
(8.5)..... +51
Rear Wheels ( With a partially shaved fender)
(7.5)..... +30
(8)..... +37
(8.5)..... +42
(9)..... +48
(9.5)..... +53
(10)..... +61
