I can calculate the correct ET needed from the 18x8 and 18x11 setup I now have, but then I would need to know how much more 87+ builds, has anyone got the numbers? what do you guys with 18x11' on 87+ run of ET?
What widebody kit or parts are you using?? Oh, my '89 model has 10" rears with 60 offset if that's any help?

I am looking at more like 11's f and 12's rear and not having more than 30 or 40ml at the very most between the tyre widths. I am thinking more like 295s f and 315's rear. kiyokskia, you will have to be careful of the same problem if you only increase your rears. You will more than likely have BIG understeer.
yes these do stick out a liitle too much for a street car patrick ...i have to remove the 1" spacers and the reason why i am using the 245's up front because i havent gotten the 275's yet and these tires have about another 2 days...they are from my 86 track car

haven't decided, worst case I just make the molds in fiberglass myself. but hopefully I'll just buy something that gives me 2-3"

just need to give the guy the specs so I can order the wheels and build from that.

I would wait until you have the body kit and test fit it and then do the wheels.
pm sent.

Doing bodywork the right way is expensive...just FYI...if its a street car look at spending at least $10-13k to get it looking like it left the factory.
