When shopping for aftermarket rims/tires, it would be helpful to know what specific clearance #'s to shoot for. The following site has an offset calculator that tells you based on Stock vs Aftermarket, what difference in clearance this will have. It gives you a Suspension # (how close to brakes/suspension), Fender (whether it's flush or protrudes), and Wheelwell.

Using this offset calculator and looking at aftermarket wheels, it would be helpful to know what result would be "flush" with the fender. For example, if your setup is "flush" with the top of the fender, then using this offset calculator you could tell how much farther then stock this new setup is.
Let's assume the following is Flush on a 2nd GenFX35:
295/45/20
20x10 (+40)
Using stock specs of 265/50/20, 20x8 (+50), you can see this setup has the following Clearance Measurements:
Suspension= 5mm (0.2") closer to suspension/brakes then stock
Fender= 25mm (1") out farther then stock
Wheelwell= Same as stock
If the calculator says your setup is 25mm beyond stock setup, and your new setup is flush, then you know that if you extend beyond 25mm your setup will protrude beyond the fender. This would give anyone looking for rims an easy thing to shoot for, and they can play around with offset/tires until they get where they want to be: If they want to be flush then they shoot for 25mm, if they want to be tucked they shoot for less then 25mm, if they want to protrude they shoot for over 25mm.
Can anyone help provide the following info based on their setup/experience with 2nd Gen 09+ FX35?
1) Suspension = What is the "maximum" value (from the offset calculator above) you can be closer to the brakes/suspension without hitting them?
2) Fender = What value is considred "flush" with the fender?
3) Wheelwell= What is the "maximum" value you can have here before you run into issues with your tires rubbing?
I think these sort of values would help any future members that are shopping for rims/tires to have something easy to shoot for so they can be comfortable their setup will fit without issues. Also, with this level of info, you don't need to worry about finding someone with the EXACT SAME setup you are looking for, as long as your clearance #'s from the calculator (vs stock) match up with what someone else has that fits.
