18 x 9 +15-4th gen-rears-how much roll?

I was thinking of picking up some mb weapons with 9 width and low offsetts for the rear. The front will be 18 x 8 +30 and the rears will be 18 x 9 +15. I wanted to know if anyone has similar offsetts for the rear wheels? I will be putting this on my 4th gen.

Pics would be appreciated. I'm sure the rears will have to be rolled. I want to achieve flushness with a concave face. The only way, it seems, is with a low offsett and/or a high width(9 or 10inch).

You'll need some low pros and stretched tires.
That size might poke out a little bit.

Youre going to have to roll and run stretched tires.
My old setup 18x9 +13 (25mm spacer) with 225/40 tires:

looks like a good size depending on how low you are dropped. it should be ~.5" of poke which should look ok if you're not too low (rich's pics are a good example). run some mild stretch on the tires and roll the lips flat (maybe even pull a little).

I would've preferred not to stretch the tires but it looks like it is unavoidable with the current wheels spec.

I wanted to know, you guys stretching the tires, it dosen't freak you out that, if you run into a pothole that your wheels will get damaged? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it just looks like you are more prone to damaging your rim lip.
Or is that the pros and cons with setups like this? Similiar to slamming your car and worrying about scraping curbs and speed bumps?

there are no pros other than being able to fit better fitting wheels. ppl who stretch are usually people who are obsessed with fitment, but recently some ppl have been treating it like it's own styling cue (which is ok too) and stretching more than/when not necessary. to run the specs you want stretching is pretty much unavoidable (depending on your drop).

Is all that wheel rash from stretching? I doubt that came from curbs.
