have an FD with fender flares, the flares add around 2.25" to each side, need to know what offset for either 18X12" or 18x13".

aslo to run 10" wide in the front i would need a +50?

 

holy shat.... 18x12 & 18x13, that's huge!!

 

Yeah 18x10 +50 on the front with aftermarket coilovers.
or
I run 18x9.5 +50 on the front with stock suspension

 

Ok basically this is how you calc. +50 offset front and rear for maximum offset on 10" width let's say. You want to add two inches front = 51mm and then 3 inches rear, that's 76mm. So you need to run about:

0 offset front

-25mm offset rear or lower. I doubt you should run higher than that as you may hit the links.

Huh?

 

That's your answer.

0 offset for 12" front
-25 for 13" rear

You need to post some pics so we can see your car.

ok I understand now

 

lol.

Pics of whose car? I think this is a conceptual question. Sounds like the project is still in the works. I'd like to see that too. 12's and 13's. I'd think sizes like 315 and 335. I'm really interested in finding out what wheel interests you. I'd suggest a lightweight one piece wheel so your steering input isn't affected so much by the weight.

I've driven some FD's with the Cooper Fitment in Kinesis and it was a dramatic change. Granted I was only driving on the street but it felt heavy. Under high speed this wouldn't be so much of a factor but if driven daily I would suggest a one piece forge.

Keep us updated,

you guys must be speed readers because you missed most of the details

i am debating on either 18x12 or 18x13 for the REAR...because i also asked if a 10" wheel in the front carried a +50 offset.

 

No

I answered your question about the front.

 

Geez Steve, you're really turning this FD into a monster. I look at the pictures and I can't believe I used to own it.
