with 9.5 in the rear, i'd say lowest offest you can go without major fender work is +15, and it also depends on how much you stretch your tires. im running 9.5 all around +30 and maxed out camber with rolled fenders on 235's and i rub a bit. if i were to slim my tires down to 225 or 215 even, i can clear no problem.

going negative offset is insane and awesome, but requires some major fender modification

^ I'm running lower offsets on a 9.5 than +15, but with a 215 tire. Stretch really does quite a bit. Camber as well.

good to know. i was considering changing out the 235 to 215, but i got the 235 continental dw's for such a good deal haha. i kind of wish there was a way to achieve a tad bit more camber after you max out.

The ones in the link are 15mm. That would put you at +20 (35-15). But to run less than 25mm adapters, you have to make sure your wheels have the pockets in between the holes on the mounting pad so your stock studs can have room. Otherwise you'll have to shave them down until their flush (or a little less) with the adapter.

No problem man. And yeah that's what I'm talking about. Those are pretty deep so you should have no problem. Also get the center bore of the wheels measured if you don't know already so they can make the ring the right size on the adapter to prevent vibration.

OK. I'll definitely do that. I didn't realize that was important.
I guess i'll google how to measure it. Or would this have to be done by a shop or something?

You can try calling Discount Tire or another shop that deals with aftermarket wheels. They should have a tool to measure it. You could do it yourself, but you need to know the inner diameter wall to wall, not on the top. It needs to be to a tenth of a millimeter.

^ You could also run smaller tires. Since you're on springs and the wheels are not very wide you wont need a lot of stretch. Maybe go down a tire size or two. Those are pretty much your only options unless you want to mess with the fenders.

Didn't "drain air"out just to take a picture. Never even crossed my mind. How much psi do you consider the right amount?
