The sticky is a little vague on this...it states;

"11.0" ... +45 to +56 mm .... 305, 315, 335"

So, what is the offset for an 11" rim with a 335 on it, using a stock rear end on a 4th gen (specifically, 1996) f-body? I'm going to have some 18" wheels built, and would like to figure out the correct offset. The rear on my car is narrowed, but if I have the correct figures for a stock rear, I can adjust from there.

Thanks in advance for any help

you will need a 11.5" wheel and
run like an 8" backspace

roll the fender lips
bfh mod the $hit out of the inner wheelwells.

I have 335s on my 17x13 ZR1s. I wouldn't feel comfortable putting them on an 11" or 11.5" wide wheel.

Ive got some pretty wide BFG KDs 315\35s on 36mm offset 17x11 ZR1s. Car is lowered 2" with an adjustable PHB and rolled fenders. Oddly, I have no rubbing whatsoever on the inner fenders and just a very slight rub on the driver side outer quarter if taking a right hand curve really fast. Im still on stock swaybars fwiw

I do have a pair of 335 Hoosiers in my garage but will probably be a month or so before I attempt them

...should also mention the KDs were dead on 13" wide when off the wheel, sitting on its side

Yeah, I'm buying the Eastman roller setup....figured it's a good thing to have. As far as the wheels, I just sent the $$$ to True Forged. They are going to do up a set of 3-piece wheels for me, once I figure out all the dimensions. They are currently giving a nice discount to LS1Tech members to "advertise" their products....so I kinda jumped the gun, and sent the $$$.....so I didn't miss out on the killer deal.
Interesting though, that after searching on here, I've found a few people that have been able to run 335s on 17x11 wheels. I can't imagine 17x18 being any different. Is the general consensus that 11.0 is too narrow?

I've also considered using my plasma cutter to perform a little strategic "surgery" on the fender wells, if needed.

Body hammer, no problem. Wheel spacers, hell no. I'm having the wheels custom-built, so I'm going to do my best to make sure that everything fits as it should.

I ran 335's on a 17x11 TT2 on a stock length rear end and now I'm running 345's on
17x11 TT2 on a narrowed 9".

im running 335's on 18x12's. but i minitubbed my car. my back spacing is 8 3/4 for the 12" rim on a stock length 10bolt. so i would guess BS for a 11.5" would be 8 1/4.

Yeah, I saw your build...looks killer, and like a lot of work! Thanks for letting me know what your backspacing is...that definitely helps.

Looks like most manufacturers that I can find list an 11.5 as a minimum...I guess that settles the wheel width question.

guys with the 17x13, will a mini tub be all thats needed to fit a 335 or 345? Going to be getting a new set wheels in the next year and want to get what needs to be cut up out of the way.

I just found a cool tool called a Percy's Wheelrite. Looks like I'll be able to measure everything accurately and easily once the new rear goes in! No more guessing....

It only cost me $175.00 to own....but thanks for the info. I'm kinda weird about tools, I'd rather buy what I need...not to mention, I have friends that might need to modify some fender wells soon as well.
