Default Offset Question

Im kinda new to xB's, and I was wondering what offset I would have to run to be hella flush with 16x9 with 215 or 205 tires and no fender flares? Im a 240sx guy so flush is nothing new to me and when I mean flush i mean something like this
.
I plan to roll the fenders along the lines of how this 240sx is in the rear.


Thanks in Advance

30 is about right.
if you run any higher you run the risk of rubbin your axle beem with the lip of the rim.

here is a pic of 17x9 with a 40 offset and a 10mm hub spacer, this set up is the same as runnin a 30 offset

hella flush. if you know your offsets, and want more poke, then you can use this as a guide line

Yeah go with a +30 it fits the best on the rear, that will be "hella flush" imho

By looking at the pics posted, I dont think a +30 offset will work.

You're looking for a poked looked and the only thing I see sitting flush in the picture is the actual stretched tire and not the rim itself.

Will you be running camber?

I'd recommend a lower offset, but depends on your final setup.

the rim isn't usualy an issue, unless your sittin super low all the time.
thats the trick is to streach the tire enough to pull it away from the fender and still run a wide wheel.
