Default Help me figure out what wheel specs I need please!!

Hey guys I am looking to get some custom built wheels but it is more tough as I have a narrowed rear. I have an S60 that 3" shorter per side. I want to have a tiny little lip up front and a fat lip out back. So what width, offset, and backspacing wheel should I run in the back? I have it all clearenced for 28X10.5 slicks so I have lots of room, I also have offset LCA. Oh and I want to go 18s all around, also what tire size? I want them wide as hell!

You can go for a set or 13" wide rears w/ some 335/30/18's but you'll probably need to contact a wheel builder like CCW for the spacing.

Im gonna also say contact a wheel manufacturer like fikse or ccw as said above as im not knowledgeable enough to tell you myself... but, make sure to get some pics up as soon as you get the bad boys going (and let us in on the progress i.e. the specs)
