Just all depends on what your wanting out of the car.

I know exactly what you mean, which is why I'm more interested in backspace than offset at this time, I want to stay clear of the springs/coilovers without the use of spacers, the fender doesn't worry me much because that can always be modified.
My Rx8 comes with 8" wide wheels and with proper backspace and offset I've come to find out you can stuff 11s all around by just rolling the lip of the fenders.
