+15 would be the better offset to rock.

alright, so 4 votes saying that I go with +15 over the +35....I also wanna go with the +15, but how much fender pulling/rolling and camber do I need to run?? I'll have RUCA's in by the time I get my wheels on, but don't wanna be running too much negative camber with my daily driver, i want the tires to last too!! So what are the benefits of going +15 over the more conservative +35?

No rubbing. What will affect the camber more will be the drop you make. You might need to run some camber just to be safe, but from what I know, you can get away with pulling/rolling the fenders. The car will look hot and you'll have the right offset.

Slightly wider track better for handling.

A more agressive look.

Rubbing depends on the tire size. Just roll the fender.

I have 255 on a 9j +14 and i had to pull.

So with a 235 you will be fine with just rolled fender.

will that offset be needing any fender rolling or spacers in the front?

hmmm, that would need alot of fender pulling/rolling and it'd scrape the fenderwells...I kinda think staggered would look and drive the best in my situation..but if anyone can talk me into 9j all around, than gimme sum reasons! dre
