Exclamation Please!!! Need quick despirate help on wheel sizing: custom>>

I'm in the process of ordering IForged wheels. I would like to do 18" x 10.5" on all 4 corners. IForged is telling me they cannot guarantee the fit up front with 10.5" wide wheels.

Can someone please help me out here please!!! I'm going all over the place with no answers on this. How can I safely get a 10.5" custom made offset to fit on the front of my car with no issues with rubbing and bottoming out. Stock WS6 ride height, may lower 1" in future. The rear will be 10.5", may be a +55 offset from what they said.

Right now I'm at 9.5" front and 10.5" rear guaranteed, but I want larger up front.

Please help!!

Why would a custom wheel maker give you 55mm offest rear wheels for an F-Car? My FIKSE 10.5" wheels are 38mm offset on a Camaro, and a Firebird has bigger wheel wells . . . .

You would be way better to get an offset between 38mm and 44mm. 55mm IMHO will not look the best and defeats the entire purpose of custom made wheels.

The fronts, I really can't say. I have 9.5" FIKSE with a 38 mm offset. I know GM put 18" x 10" TT2s on the 302 Concept Camaro, but have no idea on the offset.
