Rim & Tire Setup for Widebody FD
 

HEy guys,

I just put a down on a 2002 GTwidebody and will have it in a few weeks or so. I sold my stock rims and am looking at getting some volk 57pro's or TE37's, the only thing is I'm kinda a newbie to the whole rim thing. I'm looking at an 18x9.0 in the front and 18x10.5 in the rear. My questions are what type of offset should I use for the front and then for the rear? The widebody kit is going to give me 2" wider on each side, and since you can fit a 18x10 on stock wheel wells, I'm trying to figure out what offset would make the rim sit just inside the widebody fenders. Also how does the offset work? +offset sits further in or further towards the ouside of the rim? Can anybody help me on this one?

James:confused:

go with 11" wide wheels not 10.5's and go with 315 series tires. i am thinking the correct offset for 11's is 20 and to run 9's up front you will need to run a 45 offset

Yeah, I talked to chuck at rotary extreme and he said to go with bigger in the back too. We'l see. Thanks bro.
