by my 'in the head' calcs I think the range of

8 to 8.5 inches wide and
+35 to +40 offset is going to be optimal, going by stock specs
for example, from another thread

I think with a drop 9" wide would work. 9.5 might be pushing it.

But that's just from what I've been seeing, gotta wait until I have my car to do real testing.

But I agree though, anyone that takes pics of their car with new wheels should have the same low angle shot that's displayed in the OP

edit: @Stu baru are your calcs for the hub-to-fender measurement correct, because when I plug the value into the offset calculator you provided (using stock wheel/tire combo) it shows stock as being sunk by only 2.4mm! Which we know isn't true. So am I doing something wrong?
