New Forgestars, wrong offsets?

Yea, I don't plan on buying those spacers anymore, I had posted that just out of curiousity before I received my wheels as I did not expect the wheels to be as aggressive as they are, thanks.

just throwing this out there but when i jack my car up my rims and tires poke out from the fenders quite alot. im using 15mm spacers on OEM nismo rims. but lowered i actually have some room for a larger spacer. (im at -2 degrees of rear camber)

you really need to mount tires and test fit to get an idea.

fuct, thanks for the info! Hopefully that will be the case, I need to talk to my vendor before doing that as if it is wrong they won't take any returns once tires have been mounted.

I have run very aggressive wheels on my 350z and before the car is dropped off the jack it stuck out an inch and a half to 2 inches like yours. The tire is sitting at a positive camber when you are looking at it so when it is lowered and cambers in -1 to -2 then it will sit fairly flush maybe with a slight poke but will be fine.
My guess by looking at that width of 9 inches is the offset is +15 or so.
