Thats not really all that surprising.

I've seen auto-X'ers with 315's on all 4 corners.

To answer the OP's question.

Search the name "T Rez". He's the one with the 345's out back on a 18x12 ZO6 wheel.

Thanks for the replies, guys! (I've been out of town). So, has anybody else tried to do exactly what T-Rez has done? 18x12/58mm offset with 345's?

DoesSpeedTurnUon, are those really 18's? for some reason they look like 17's but yeah, they look realy wide. I'm assuming they're not with 58mm offset like what T-Rez claims he has? maybe 64mm the reason for using 335's instead? Do you have any rear shots of that same car?


TheLs1Kid, thanks for the link! that's exactly the car I had in mind.

Have you guys had any problems with running a wheel with these dimensions? Any clearance or rubbing issues?

How about rain?

According to T-Rez, you will need some tubular LCA's, some BFH, and a 58mm offset on the 18x12's.

In my opinion, a adjustable PHB should used also.

This 58mm offset on a 12" rim seems crazy because my 11" rim has a 50mm offset and it is a tight fit.

Props to T-Rez though, he had pics to prove he made them fit.

I know what you mean, I'm currently running ZR1 17x11 in the rear with the same 50mm offset and there's hardly any more room for more, and theoretically...things just don't add up right as others were also skeptical about his (T-Rez) set-up, but I know...he's got the pics.

yeah i agree being that im currently running the 17x11 torque thrust 2 rims. im gunna keep those rims but get a set of these for the hell of it and just roll the lip on my quarter panels to free up a little more room this way theres no mini tub needed since my car isnt slammed to the ground. i also read somewhere that these rims have a 64mm offset instead of the 58mm.

The 58mm offset is very rare.

Nobody knows where to get them.
