Anyone have 18x11's in the rear? About to order some CCW 505s. I think im going to go w/ 18x10s in the front and 18x11's in the back. I know I will be fine in the front, but its the 18x11's in the back im worried about.
Will the 18x11's fit in the back? Folks from CCW say that most fbodies stick w/ the 18x10front 18x11rear pkg. but didnt mention if any mods needed to be done to make them fit. I know the tires have alot to do with it as well.
IF ANYONE HAS A 18X11 REAR SET UP PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

My rears are 18"x11" with a 50mm offset, the tires are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup's, the widest of all 315's. On my Trans Am, they fit about as good as I could have hoped for. Perfectly centered in the wheel well, a 1/4" more either way (in or out) would have caused some problems.
Don't misunderstand me... No 11" wide or larger wheel will be able to be bolted up with out some sort of "massaging".
With my combo, the level of "massaging" was kept to a minimum. I rolled the fender lips, cut off half of the jounce bumpers, and spent about 1 minute with the BFH to do some minor clearance work on the inner fender well. All in all, a very painless install.
Make sure you have a adjustable panhard rod, your rear will need to be centered perfectly for this set-up.
Take a look at the pics, and see if you like the look of this offset... Hope all this helped!

I'd like to hear more feedback.
