Default 18x11 or 17x11 3" narrowed will it?

With a 5.5" backspace? or looks like a -12-13mm offset? I want the tucked look. trying to figure out if anyone has done it already. Looking at the forgestar F14, Billet Specialites GTR as reasonably priced examples. Don't want a drag setup, will run a 285/295 tire in rear. Will bolt on separate 15x10 for track days.

or if anyone running 18x10, 10.5, wheels with narrowed rear and tucked would like to see.

I have 3" narrowed each side. Running a 17x11 tt2. But as bad as I'd hate to say it, I can't remember what my backspacing is. It's either a 5 or 5.5" backspace. I'm thinking it's a 5" tho. Unfortunately I don't have any pics either and that set of wheels is not currently on the car.

anyone else with a 3" narrowed rear that has a non-drag setup? Trying to figure out what will ship. Forgestar apparently cannot go negative enough on offset to fit in back without going to a two piece wheel.
