Nice wheels. So your're going for 265 all around?

Going for the 285's all round. Or whatever fits on the 10" wheels. Looking at the BFG R1's. This will be track only setup. I'll keep the Simmons 9's and 10's for the street. Easy to clean.

So what offsets did you end up with in the front?

ps - I was looking at that avatar. When did you get that X tatoo on your hand?

I don't see any way you can fit a 285 in the front with stock fenders. I have 1" bigger front fenders and it will be a very tight fit for me on hoosiers. This is with a 60mm front coilover and about 1/2 clearence from the tire to the spring, so offset is dead on. With the stock fenders and a cut lip my 245's just made it.
Good luck...

John, I put my 10" et 60 on the front already and it fits....just. This is the same offset. The KW coilovers are pretty compact and I run over 3.5 neg. We may require a slim spacer and a bit of massaging.
