I know the "good" offset range for F-bodies is between 35mm and 50mm. The wheels I'm planning to get are 17x9 with a 35mm offset, and I'm having the rear wheels widened to 11". The extra 2" would change the offset to 60.4mm, if I calculated correctly. The rear wheels will have Nitto NT555's in 315/35/17. How can I get these to fit correctly?

I dont know the measurements on my wheels, but i have a set of 00 WS.6 wheels, that were widened to 11". I am running a 1" adapter and i had to BFH the inner fender to clear that tire. I think they look KILLER!!

maybe a spacer and the good ol' BFH mod always does the trick...

I'd like to stay away from spacers, as the car will be raced (drag racing and road racing). Are hub-centric spacers OK to use in this case? Or should I get an adapter that bolts to the hub?

There's nothing wrong with spacers AT ALL when the proper length studs are used on them. once you tighten the lug nuts, the wheel becomes one with the hub, and the friction between those surfaces is what holds the wheel on.

In the size spacer you need, an adapter would be the better course of action. I just installed an H&R 20mm adapter with my 11" wide, 70mm offset wheels and Michelin 305's (which are wide) and it fits perfectly inside the fenders and would work well even with a Watts link.

You'll need a spacer. All you're doing is making the wheel go further inside the body when widening it so you'll need something to counter act that.
