Default 18x9.5 F and 18x10.5 R

I have seen a couple of people post pics of their wheels with similar demensions (18x9.5 F and 18x10.5 R). I like the 2.5" lip up front and the 3.5" lip in the back but what would the offsets be for each of those wheels?

I Plan on going with 275/35/18 F
and 295/35/18 R

What would be the best offset for the look im trying to acheve? (2.5" lip up front and the 3.5" lip in the back )

Take a look at the post i brought up from the grave at ls1.com's wheels section. I tried to find out, but no answer. the person you are referring to put his specs down. IForged said it can be done, but they don't like doing it. And if you have larger brakes on the car you can forget about it as there will be clearance issues with the forged part of the wheel.

38 mm offset is the minimum offset I'd go on a F-Car.

Yea? But what does that mean? How big of a lip upfront and back?

Completely depends on the wheel maker . . . .

All of the different offsets, wheel lip, etc have virtually nothing to do with each other. They are related, but its how the wheel is made.

What I mean is you could buy manufacturer "X" wheel with a 38mm offest, and manufacturer "B" 38mm offset wheels and the "lips" will be different . . .
