Default iForged Aero's resizing HELP

Ok guys here is what Im trying to figure out. As of now I have 19*10 in the rear 7" back spacing with 38mm offset. What I want todo is go to a 11" wide wheel. I have spoke to some other wheel ppl and what Ive gather is that a 7.75" back spcaing is used with 44mm offset for this to work on an f-body. Im trying to figure out if both inner and outer hubes need to be different or just the inner hub? any of you guys with custom wheels chim in here with what your specs are.

thanks

Here's how I see it....You want the wheel to be 1" wider. The "expert advice" you got says that 7.75" backspacing is what you want, and you currently have a wheel with 7" of backspacing. So, you'll need a rear shell that's .75" wider than the one you currently have, and a front shell that's .25" wider than the one you currently have. That will "adjust" your backspace, and give you the additional 1" of width.



just to be sure, you are, talking about a multi-piece wheel, aren't you?

Good luck! I heard some horror stories from people over on the Corvette Forum website about I-Forged. However, that was 3-4 years ago, and seemed to center around one particular representative...
