18x11 +57 offset any luck?
 
I searched but know that 50mm is the recommended offset at a 18x10.5 max. Has anyone had any luck with a 18x11 +57 on the rear with a 295x35x18 w/BFG Gforce KDW2 D?

An FD sorry.

with sizes and offsets like that I can only assume your asking about the FD fitment... take a look at the FD fitment sticky at the top of this section, it has a lot fo info in it for the FD

I really really dont think it will fit, I definitely think it will hit the springs on the suspension, esp an 18x11.

According to jimlabs wheel guide, the inner tire clearance given an 18x11 @ +57 is -.75 inches. You would definitely need a spacer, coilovers, and a modified rear fender.

I think you'll be coming very close to kissing the toe links with that offset. Run a higher offset and give it a healthy PULL and you should be able to clear it. But why are you screwing around with these kooky sizes/offsets when you can easily run an 18x10 +50 with a 285 tire? I doubt that 295 tire is going to make a noticable difference vs. a 285...

Thanks for the input. The main reason why I was asking about this offset is that I came accross a good deal with wheels and tires using this offset.

Andrew,

Do you think that aftermarket toe links would be able to help the fitment?

Not a great idea, but you could always get some spacers.

It's not a "good deal" if they don't fit...

flsupraguy 10-06-08 09:41 PM

Obviously....
