Arrow 18x10.5's Z06's in the Rear, What's your OFFSET?!?

I am not to satisfied with the look of my 18x9.5" rear wheels. They still kinda have that stock look to them with the wheel far away from the outside of the car. I am looking to get some 18x10.5" wheels with some BFG 315's DR's. The only offset I can find for these is +58mm. From reading the sticky at the top and from expirience(my wheels right now are +54mm and they rubbed before BFH mod) it seems like this is too much offset. I will probably end up needing a 1/2" or wider spacer with this offset.

If you are running 18x10.5" in the rear, answer these questions please...

1) What is your offset?
2) What brand/width tire are you running?
3) What size spacer are you using, if any?
4) Is your car lowered at all?
5) Did you need to roll the fender, or the BFH mod?
6) Where did you get the wheels? Brand?

Thank you for looking!

1) What is your offset? +58mm

2) What brand/width tire are you running? 295/35/18 Kumho Ecsta MX

3) What size spacer are you using, if any? None needed, but with my 12 bolt and 3" studs, I "experimented" with a 3/16" spacer to push the wheel out even further. The pics below are without spacers FYI.

4) Is your car lowered at all? Stock height

5) Did you need to roll the fender, or the BFH mod? Already had rolled fenders, inner fender was CLOSE, but I just adjusted my PHB until they both were equally far away from the inner fenderwell and never had a problem. I could see a small amount of BFH being necessary depending on your specific car. My tires ended up being MAYBE 1/8" away from the inner fenders on both sides.

6) Where did you get the wheels? Brand? Tom Z wheels. Excellent prices, fast shipping, great quality.




Wheels have since been sold. Shawn

I ran a 58 with a 295/35 BFG DR and had to do the BFH mod for them to fit. Fit fine after that though.
