Hey guys, like the title says. I need to order wheels asap for my 3" per side narrowed rear end and want to get the fitment right the first time.
For the rear: I plan to run a 19x11" wheel with 305/30/19 tires
For the front: 19x10" wheel with 285/30/19
I have tried to research backspacing for the rear and have come up with 4.5-4.75" for being narrowed 3" per side, I really want the rears wheels to sit close to flush with the fender lip with no rubbing, but dont want them to STICK out on the top of the wheel well. I dont mind BFH and rolling just the fender lip, but I dont want to start cutting stuff up.
What backspacing or offset for the rear would you recommend for the wheel fitment I described? Heres a pic of what I desire.
These pics are 17x11" with 315/35/17:

For the front I would like fitment that looks like the following pics, but I would like a 10" wide wheel instead of 11" which is pictured.

I believe the front wheels use spacers to clean the spindle. I am only interested in backspacing or offset for 11" in the rear and 10" in the front.
thanks guys!

I would assume that they should know the correct offsets without bringing your car there in person lol Just a phone call should do the job. That's how most custom wheels get done.

I did tell them what kind of car I have, they deal with high end cars so I dont think they are familiar with 4th gen fbodys. I also want them to be just slightly less than flush with the fender.

If its like that, I would call someplace that deals with fbodys often. CCW or iforged and talk to them for the correct offsets and then order the wheels you want from that place.
