Default Weld RTS RTS-71

Purchased another Camaro and want to know how aggressive of a stance i can get running 18's all round.
Decided that my rear will be a 18x11 on a +43 offset. Want to go with a 8.0 or 9 in for the front, so what offset and tire size should I go with to pull the front tire back out to the fender well just like stock.
Rear tire size will more than likely be a 305/30/18 or 315/30/18. So basically looking for a nice stance and very very close sidewall size. Fenders are rolled along with the BFH mod. Car will be dropped 1.5-2in with the set up.

Thanks in Advance

I'm running a 18x11 +43 and 18x10 +41. Not on the ground so no pictures but there's a thread a few down with a black SS with this same setup.

Nice setup on both rides. Love that 43mm for the TA, car looks damn good on the track. Like where the tire is sitting on the Camaro with the 41mm offset, the only difference is that I want to run a 8.5or9 in the front to make the rear look wider. Thx for the replies!!

SCJ, Thx in regards to the post of Turbo306Fox Camaro. That's the exact setup I want, just a .5in or so small width rim.

If you wanted a 9" wheel with the same look as my 10" wheel with +41mm offset you would want a +28mm 9" wheel. Or if you wanted a 8.5" wheel it would have to be a +22mm offset to keep the same outer position. I'm using some calculators online, so before spending the money and ordering these I would verify this with the manufacture. Weld in this case

Don't think you can get any better than this. IMO.

That's the best response I could get SCJ, just what I needed to know. Last question ,what size tire should I go with to get the sidewall hight to match the 315 or 305/30 series tires for the rear?

The tire in the pictures is a 295/30/18. I'm running a 315/30/18 in the rear.

There are a bunch of tire size calculators if you just google that term that will give you width/height and sidewall as well as revs per mile, etc.
according to those calculators the 295/30/18 has a 3.48" sidewall and the 315/30/18 has a 3.72" sidewall. I'm perfectly okay with this and this isn't noticeable looking at the tires side by side. Remember every tire manufacture is a little different so these might not be exact, but close enough.

You can use the calculator to figure out what size front tire you'll want for your setup in reference to the rear tire size.

Just to follow up. I'll be running a 225/45/18 in the front on a 7 in rim and 315/40/18 Hoosier out back.

Thanks for all text help. Now on to the HARD PART, waiting 1-2 months before shipping.

That's a tall tire size. 28" not even sure that'll fit.
