What is a good backspace for a 18X11.5 wheel? Z28, severly lowered and run 17X11's now w/ no problem 50mm offset 7.93 backspace. Judging from the looks of it I've got a little more underneathe there to widen it so what are your thoughts?

Ordering Fikse Profil 13's if you are wondering.

Thanks in advance!

My best guess would be an offset around 46 mm which should net about 8" of backspace.

Oh you better believe I will! Had to settle for 18X11 though since Fikse seemed a little uneasy in doing it. Had I known the right offset I would've gone 18X12 but whose to say I can't do that later. They just started on them so I should have them by mid or late June.

go with a +43/+44mm offset and you'll be fine for the inner fender... but you'll need to roll the outer fender to avoid cutting of tire.

SRZ,

You should have spoken to me first. I would have told you that 11.5's will fit just fine. Been there done that. Just ask Travis at Fikse. Probably could have gotten you a better price as well.

I asked around here but no one was sure. I even asked the folks who had 12's on their fbodies but they were unsure of their offsets and this was several people.

I did ask Travis. That's who I made my order through. Believe me he was not sure and only recommended 11's. Even when I went w/ 11's he was like make sure the fender is rolled etc. I had to tell him repeatedly I know it's been done already etc and I run 11's on all 4 corners slammed. I guess he just didn't want to get any flack if something was wrong when I receive them I suppose. Oh well. They just started on them so I'll see what he charges for a extra 1/2". He gave me a 44.5 offset too on 11's when he 1st suggested 43's.
