Wheel poke help!!

[TUN3R]

Hey guys im sure this was covered in another thread and if you could point me in the right direction that would be helpful or just give a little help here!!
So i just recently bought an 02 P5 im not new to proteges tho as i owned a 94 1.8bpt and a 99msp swapped also my bro has a 03 msp. Im looking to get a wide aggressive look. I have megan racing springs with stock struts. pretty stiff but plan to upgrade the struts soon. I want my wheel to poke out a little from the fender with camber 0'd out maybe a inch or so. the wheels im looking to get are 16x8 +38. Do i just buy spacers or does offset come in to play here? any help would be appreciated!

You can achieve the stance with either a higher offset wheel, or spacers. Depending on whether or not you can get the wheels you want in the right offset. The factory offset is +50mm. The closer you get to zero, the more the wheel protrudes. +38 may fit, depending on the tire you choose.

The lower offset you run, the higher the chance of fender contact. You may have to roll them, at the least.

+38 offset will be flush with the fender, any more than +35 and you are going to be past the fender.

Fender rolling, at least in the rear isn't an option, its a requirement.

thanks guys. im getting slotted and drilled rotors next week so sounds like a plan to go ahead and roll my fenders while the wheels are off. this helps alot since offset is still confusing. I understand it but i still get lost.
