11" wide wheel backspacing or offset, post pics! Hey there, I would like to see cars with 11" wide wheels. Im looking to order a set of 19x11" wheels for my rear end which is narrowed 3" per side, and need to know what backspacing or offset looks the best. I dont want to cut bump stops out, but will BGH and roll fenders. I would like no rubbing issues at all as this car is my daily driver. Please post size of wheel, backspacing, offset, lowering mods, and pictures are always great!
thanks!
thanks!

. I figure you'll end up with a negative offset. 11" wheels figure a +45 to +56 offset for a stock rear and you're going to narrow the rear by an additional 76.2mm. Unless my calc battery is hosed, I get somewhere between -31 to -20...DEEEEEP! Thread Starter

Or you could grab that big 'ol sticky and a calculator . I figure you'll end up with a negative offset. 11" wheels figure a +45 to +56 offset for a stock rear and you're going to narrow the rear by an additional 76.2mm. Unless my calc battery is hosed, I get somewhere between -31 to -20...DEEEEEP!

I currently have a 3" adapter until I can figure out exactly what backspacing will look/fit best. I want to know what will fit for sure before I spend $3500. That's why I ask so many questions haha

My torque thrust II's are 7.75" Backspacing. I also just bought a fab 9 narrowed 3"...so I need a 17x11 w/4.75 BS to locate the tire in the same footprint. According to summit- 5.00 is the best I can get- and run a 1/4" spacer.
guess i should add a pic. I would thing the BS'ing would be close to the same regardless of rim diameter. BTW- my car has rolled fender lips- but no BFH on the inside, though my jounce bumpers have been modified.

yes- bumpstops.
As for pics from the rear....I'll have to look through my Fquick account- as I am offshore. I'll post one up if I find one.
I'm not seeing what you're getting at here, if you run a custom backspacing to compensate for the narrowed axle, its going to look just like it does with a stock axle. Are you trying to get a certain look since you're going to get custom backspacing anyways?

Im going for the deep dish look in the rear and also drag wheels are easy to find with that backspacing too. I basically need the best clearance backspacing and pics for a 11" wide wheel so I can just minus 3".
