Weld racing RTS wheel size confirmation
I am trying to verify these are the correct part numbers for the wheels I am looking to purchase, summit does not have the information to provide me if the part numbers listed below have the correct pad heights. So before I order they asked me to verify it. The part numbers in question are listed below
I need a high pad height for the front and a medium for the rears, this is for a 2000 camaro ss that will be getting a brembo CTSV brake conversion, with a full legnth moser 12 bolt rear.

yeah that matches my part number i have above for the front. Just need to know for the rear, im almost 100% it will be what I need since certain pad heights are only available with certain offsets. But a yes from weld would have been nice. Hate to wait 4 weeks and have the wrong wheels sent to me then fight to return

In the part number the HB means high pad and the MB means medium pad.
As for the +43mm rear 18x11's it's tight figment for the outer fender. Will definitely need to be rolled and my 315's still might rub it. I'm lowered pretty low, so that doesn't help. But be aware it's pretty flush, maybe even pokes out a little. I've yet to center my rear and really check fitment, but be aware it's close. Weld didn't even recommend I run this offset. They said the only thing that would fit is the 56mm 18x11's.

Good to know. Based on my invoice I ordered the 18x11 rears with a 8.2back space and according to welds site is only offered in the 56+ offset.
I did buy the adjustable PH so I'll throw that on and align it on the rack before I do the wheels and tires. Having trouble finding the toyo r888s right now anyway.
Did you have to run new wheel studs for the rears. I did also notice the part number was on the box for the fronts that came in

IMO, the widest WELD RT-S S-71 I recommend in a 18 with a stock width rear-end assembly is the 18 x 10.5 with a medium pad height and a +50mm offset(7.7"bs) because this will give the best tire clearance with a 295/35/18 or 315/30/18 tire.
Or with a High pad height the 18 x 10.5 with a 47mm offset(7.6"bs), which would match the spoke arch of the high pad fronts 18 x 10 fronts.

IMO, the +43 pushs the tire to far out requiring fender lip modification(roll or cut), and the +56 pulls the tire in to close to the inner fender and will require heavy BFH modification. So this is why I don't recommend the 18 x11 wheels the +43 offset (7.7" bs) and the +56 offset. (8.2"bs), they're both not ideal with a stock width rear-end.
