Default 10.5 with 58 mm offset wheel work??

I have a lowered TA. Just a normal LG spring lowered car, no spindles or anything else. TomZ has a set of 17x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 with a 58mm offset for the rear. Will those wheels fit in the rear with just the BFH mod?? I would prefer 17x11's for the rear but they do not make those in that style wheel. Thanks for the help guys.

all you'll need to do i think is grind the bump stop a lil and hammer in the wheel wells. Not completely sure though

The offsets are 54mm in front and 58 in the rear. Is this what I need? I have read the sticky at the top of the page and it just confused me even more. There are 41 pages of irrelevant info. Thanks for the patientce guys.

As long as the backspacing is right, they should fit fine. Plenty of guys run the 11s. At worst you would have to roll the fender lips a little. I'm about to stuff 19x11 (I got a killer deal on some 2pc forged race wheels) on the back of my thirdgen that's dropped several inches...now that should be fun .

dont grind the bump stops. just raise the car from the differential. Also. If anything you'll need to do a little bfh. If your car is at stock height, you prob wont have to roll the fenders. If your car is lowered. You might, just depends what size tires your running.

Has anyone put these wheel/tire combo on their lowered TA? If so what issues did you face? I do not want to roll the fender. I have already done the BFH mod just incase I go with these wheels. 58mm offset in the rear with a 1" spring drop. Tire size in the rear would be 285/35 18

I have the exact wheel sizes as those. I'm running a 295-35 rear tire (which is what you should run. 285 is a little small for a 10.5). I am using a 5/16" spacer with longer studs and also had to BFH a little. I am lowered with a prokit. I did not have to touch the bumpstops and I can jack the car up however I want.

I did not have to roll my fenders. and My offset is at about +50mm with the spacer so you shouldn't have to either. especially with a 285.

My offset will be 58mm in the rear. Moving the tire farther in.
