Default narrowed 2", what wheel offset?

Im about to buy some either the
CCW LM20 18x11 http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelpr...ay.php?id=LM20

or the Boze Forged Pro Touring 18x10
http://www.bozeforged.com/protouring.html

I searched and couldnt find my answer. I ordered a MWC 9" shortened 2" per side and was looking for the deep dish look.

What backspacing and offset do I need for max lip and flush look without running into brake clearence problems? I will probably get a big brake kit later on.

Same go's for the front, I like the almost flush look in the front with a lip also.

I tried the sticky's but just didnt comprehend, help would be appreciated. Thanx

those CCW's look very nice.
now I know why you were selling them black ones.

go with a 6" backspacing and beat the tar out of the
inner wheelwells, especially by the seat belt bumps.

the 5.5 backspacing is correct for them people running
drag set ups as they are normally running 15 or 16 tires
with tall *** sidewalls that flex out, ect.

on your set up 6" is better.

I been there done that so have first hand experience on the matter
and I can email you pictures of my set up.

I would install the rear end and take measurements to make sure the wheel sits exactly where you want it.

I have my S60 2.25 shortened each side and my wheels have a 5'' backspacing.

I would like to get a look like this but with a wider lip and would also like to run wide tires, 315 or higher. This car looks badass!!!
