Looking at Amercian Racing Torque Thrust Wheens- Have ?'s
I am looking at installing these wheels on my car and I have a few questions. Its is a 2000 WS6 with stock WS6 wheels. I assume they are 9" wide correct? But what is the off set?
I am considering 18" wheels, should I just go 9" all the way around? If so what size rear tire would be close to the 315-35-17's I have now? Same off set on the 18" wheel as 17"?
Thanks.

For the 18x10 would the rear fenders need rolled?
Thanks.

Myself and many members on have ran 315/35 17's on a 17x11 rim for years without the BFH mod or fender rolling, the T/A's have slightly more room for 315's than the Camaros do. So you most likely can get away without the BFH.
If you go 17's your gonna need 7.5" backspacing in the front, and 7.75" backspacing for the rear. I'm really not sure on backspacing on the 18's

Even at stock height on my T/A I ended up bfh'ing, and that was with BFG tires. When you go into turns, or hit bumps one tire is going to gain camber. The top of the tire was rubbing the inner fender. When I lowered rolling the fender lip became a necessity also.

This doesn't surprise me. YMMV with 315's. When I had a solid axle, and would go hard into turns, specifically on hard left hands turns, the passenger side tire would contact the inner fender. Hard right hand turns would cause the driver side tire to hit the lip. This is with the wheels perfectly centered at rest. Reshaping the fenders, and fender lip helped clear up the problem. I should add also that Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-DS3 are known to be wider than other 315/35/17 tires.
