Sounds about right . . AR only makes the 17" TT2 9.5" / 11" in one way to fit an f-car.

Default a little help please

I want to run a 20x10 in the rear and a 19x9 in the front. I want the max lip I can get on the fatory length rear. Do you know what backspace and offset I need to achieve this is. And would it be the same for a 20x9 front?

Thanks in advance.

I am trying to purchase rims for my 2001 Firehawk and I am looking at 18x9.5 with +40mm offset. Can anyone tell me if these will fit. I am trying to purchase them online without a big hassle return policy. Can I get some further info? Thanks in advance.

I think i will be going with these?
http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...4/C6-Z06_11are

are they close to the stock fit? for my lowered ws6 02 trans am
I dont want any rubbing issues.

and what is the advantage of going with a larger rim and a smaller tire? I see a lot of people doing it

thanks

Default trying to avoid the BFH mod for my new wheels and shoes

I have a set of Fikse Profil FM10s ordered and almost ready for shipping; Front 18x9.5" 38 mm offset 6.625BS
Rears are 18x11" 44 mm offset 7.625 BS on my 98' WS6.
I have Ground Control coil over system front and back and Koni Sport DA Front and SA in rear.
Trans Am has numerous aftermarket suspension pieces; UMI off Transmission adj. Torque Arm, UMI double adj. pan hard rod, UMI double adj. rear control Arms. SLP 3 pt. weld SFC and SLP Drive shaft loop. Strano sway bars, Edelrbrock relocation brackets.
Really want Michelin Pilot Sport 2's 275/35ZR/18 in Front and 315/30ZR/18 in rear but I don't want to modify to much on the car such as fender roll or BFH mod. Want to minimize any body work as much as possible. By going with Michelin Pilot S2's in rear 295/35ZR/18 will I avoid or minimize the BFH mods?
Thanks in advance.

What would it take to ft a 20x10 with a 22mm offset in the front of a 4th gen? I'm thinking a 20x11 with a 39mm offset will fit in the rear

ok, this is the sort of thing I PM'd you about.

You say an ET20 18x9.5 won't fit. But I read earlier that a 10.5 wide rim on a ET38 would.

This seems to suggest they would be within 5mm of each other in relation to where the wheel edge is in regard to the wheelarch.

http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php...&Submit=Submit

Am I missing something, would the 10.5's with 38ET really be that close to sticking out too?

How much less room is there at the front in this regard? Sadly I have very limited wheel and off set choices.

I didn't want to start a new thread so I figured I would post this here. I am going to be getting these wheels

http://www.oewheelsllc.com/Wheels_3/...2#.UwT7mGJdV8E

Front is a 17x9.5 with 54mm offset and I'll be running a 275/40 17 tire on those rims
Rear is a 18x10.5 with 56mm offset and I'll be running a 315/35 18 tire on those rims

I will be lowered on Koni's and BMR springs as well. I plan on having to roll the fenders and BFH the wheel wells. Possibly grinding the bump stop if needed. I am also thinking I will need wheel adapters. I was thinking 1" for the fronts to make them flush and 1.25" for the rear. Am I right with the size of the adapters? Thanks.

What is the stock bs? Just use that number to base the spacer from but from my memory that bs is too much and the wheel will stick out of the wheel well but double check
