what is the maximum distance from the contact point on the rotor to the fender? if guys are putting 11" rims on then they have to be at least 4 inches from rotor to fender, give or take an inch... that means that if these rims are 4.5" backspacing and they are 9.5 wide then there is only 5 inches from hub to fender giving them a 38mm.. or 1.5" offset... why no fitment? unless my measurement from rotor contact point to the edge of the fender is wrong.. unless anyone has that measurement...

the ideal backspacing for a wheel for 4th gens are roughly 7", the wider you go keeping that backspacing of course the remainder will be pushed out to the fender. Its not really so much the offset you are looking for, but the backspacing. Take for example and this is a very rough one using the backspace of some TTII's, that for a 9" wide wheel it comes with a 6.9" back space, so roughly from the mounting point out you will have 2.1" of wheel going towards the fender. On the wheels above for the front, its 8" wide with a 4.5" backspace meaning you will have 3.5" of remaining wheel going towards the fender which is to much and will stick out, same for the rear. Its not so much that they wont fit going in, but they will stick out past your fenders.
But then again this is my understanding of it all, Im not a wheel guru.
