Ur offsets are off but it also depends on size of wheels. Check out the Wheel and Tire sticky

35mm will work in front if the width is 9.5" or less

25mm on a 10" wheel will stick out past the quarters a half-inch or so

Narrow your rear end.

I am running 18x9.5 +30 and 18x10.5 +30 on my car and the rears stick out a little.

Search for pics of 10.5" TTMs - theyre 44mm offset. Imagine them sticking out 19mm (little under an inch) more...

You have 10's with a +25mm offset, not only would the wheel stick out but the wheel would be too narrow to fill in the well when you look at it from behind. The TTM's at 10.5 @ +44mm offer a plush with your fender set up and looks very nice at all angles (not the wheel but the set up), nice wide tire that doesn't stick out.

If you can't do anything about the wheels then I would try to get a narrow rear or look to trade the wheels for a different size

Probably about half an inch. The guy you are referring to with the flares, I followed his thread for a while. Although I am not a fan of flares on a WS6, the way he went about it was VERY VERY CLEAN. He didnt cut any corners and it took him a long time to do it and get it right. I have no information on his wheels but I am sure to get those 19's to fit he had to do something about the offset and wheel well (as shown in his pics). TT2's already stick out about a half inch and they are 11's, imagine 14's.

That guy has the first legit set up I've seen. But he did ALOT OF WORK to get it to look that way. Didnt just draw it up on a piece of napkin and go for it. I would do my homework on what all was involved before going that direction.

First of all, you need to decide what you're going to do. If you're going to flare your fenders like Austin's car, then there's no need to shorten your axles.

Exactly.

This was a one off deal. I dont know of too many shops willing to do something like this without some consent from the owner that if something goes wrong, they are not responsible. Needless to say, this is not your run of the mill mod.
