This is extremely helpful thank you!
I was talking to him about this offset recently and was shocked to hear it was a 19. This makes a ton more sense

can you explain the math? generally curious. because i thought the offset of the wheel only had to do with the distance of the wheel face to the hub, and that didn't change with an inner barrel.

Offset should be the difference between the centerline of the wheel and the centerline of the hub face. If you add to the wheel width, you change the relative location of the wheel centerline.

Lots of camber makes it easy... and the Yokos need all the camber anyways, so this works out well.

The offsets in this thread are all over the place, lol, so it makes it hard to figure out what's going to work for me. Just for clarification, you are saying 18x11" ET25 works fine with a spacer in front? I might not even have to use a spacer given the 5mm "free" offset I get with the Strom uprights. Hmmmmm.

That's because 99% of us just took a chance and tried to make things work. Just buy some wheels and tires and make them fit. There is a lot of room on this car.

MCS shock bodies and 5" main springs without a helper will put the perch above the tire, but with a helper you still have some room since it's so narrow. I ran 10.5" +25 with a 295 a052 up front with plenty of breathing room. I've seen people run 11s up front. I'd try mine but the Falken 315 is definitely too meaty.

Just pulled the trigger on 295/315 staggered A052's from tire rack... 18x11 et32 is the plan for the 315 on the rear it sounds like. Backup plan is to mount them on 18x10.5 et27
Should have them next week to confirm fit

295's are backordered...

315 A052's - that's a lot of tire!

(12.6" section width, 11.9" tread width)

Yeah! We'll see how it goes! I have some faith thanks to berns's test

That's going to be awesome. Make it happen!
