18x7.5 with +44 offset rubbing?
I saw someone (username: avena) that was apparently running the same set up today, but with rolled fenders. For some reason though, his wheels tucked seemed to tuck in a lot more. (Although his camber was pretty noticeable).
-I've been wanting to roll my fenders upon his suggestion as well as other peoples' suggestion,(cause my car is sitting pretty high now, and still rubs when people are in the back)... but I'm gettin' kinda freaked out because it doesn't look like my wheels will tuck in even if I have roll the fenders.
-Does anyone else run +44 offset with a 17x7.5? Is it safe to say I ended up buying the wrong offset for my wheels?

+ 44 offset will definitely rub especially on turns and the wheels would also stick out. I would recommend +48 offset or at least close to +53 offset. I got 18 x 7.5 Volk TE-37s on a +48 offset slammed 2 1/2 inch drop and no rubbing issue and the wheels match up with my fenders perfectly. before I had 19 x 8 on a +45 offset and it rubs on turns....

it might work....but then again the wheels would stick out and doesn't have a decent look on the car especially since our cars don't have a Lip Kit in my opinion...to be safe just stick with +48.....I'll take a few pics of my car for you tomorrow since I'm off if that helps....
