02 SS, I-Forge, offsets, and so on I have done hours and hours of research and looking at other cars, but I still want to ask the experts before I lay down that kind of $.
I own a 2002 SS Camaro and I'm sold on the 18" 3 piece Aero's, just want to re-check the offsets for the stance that I want. I know I want +50 offsets on the 9.5 in the front, but the rear stands out a little to far on a +50 offset 10.5. I realize that a lot of people like it that way, and I'm not arguing taste. I would like a slightly tucked offset so as the tire would clear the inner lip.
I like the stance of this car and they are running a +53 offset in the rear, but they are running 11's.

Would a +53 offset pull a 10.5" wheel in too far and look goofy? Should I go with a 10" wheel? I would like to get as much rubber on the road as I can without having to do a BFH mod, and from my research it would be close with the 10.5. Any suggestions?
I haven't really decided on the tire size yet, but the 275/35/18 the person in the link above looks nice. Would you really be able to put that on both 9.5 and 11's and make the tire walls straight like the link above states?
Lastly, I have read on the boards that Diesel does some sales of I-Forge. Is he still doing this?
Thanks in advance for any information and I will have pictures up soon!

I'm an iForged dealer, let me know when you are ready to purchase. Have you tried calling them directly for offset info? Each wheel manufacturer usually has their recommended offsets.
*Sorry OP, don't mean to jack your thread. Consider it a large bump? =]*
Well 1st off on the tire selection a 275/35/18 will fit good on a 9.5" rim (thats what I run up front). For the rear if you are going with a 10.5" width I'd go with a 295 (275 is too small). On the 11" go with a 305.
Since you want the wheel to tuck a bit I think the +53 on a 10.5" will be what your looking for. My rears are +58 on a 10.5" wheel and tuck in a decent amount.
