Default 10 inch rim, ~57mm offset (7.25" B.S.)

I am ordering some TTII's but I am kind of worried lol. Because it is a custom wheel, you get what you say you want, and no returns allowed at all.... I ordered the 18x8 with a 5.75 backspacing and an 18x10 with a 7.25 backspacing. The front comes out to be about 44mm, which falls right in line with the "does this fit thread" but then, the 18x10 comes out to be about 57mm, which is more than they say will work. But, i measured the wheel that was on the car when i bought it, which fit nicely, thats where we got the numbers, somebody put my fears to rest!! will my 10 inch rim with a 57mm offset work?!

According to the sticky, a 10" wheel should be between 38 and 54 mm offset. My 11" rears are 45mm offset.

I am going to do the same,but I am going to run 5 1/4 bs on the front(which is the max AR will build)and 7 bs on the rear,a 7 1/4 bs is about a 40mm offset.I don't think you get a 57mm offset in a 10.

I fitted a 7 1/4 bs TT on my car (94 z) and it set just in the fender almost even with the factory lip,a 7 bs should be flush with 1/4,and a 5 1/4 set just in the front fender.
