Those 18x10s I sold you fit up front with only minimal rubbing at full lock with 285s mounted on them. You could probably just measure those and do a few calculations...

With 285/40R18s, those caused rubbing on the front struts only at FULL steering lock. I would bet that even a 2.5-mm spacer would fix that.
If the new wheels are 18x10 with 42mm offset like the Forgestars in the link above, that's almost the same specs as the AMR's I got from you. Those things are 45mm offset. So yeah, a thin spacer would fix it.
There was a big difference in driving and overall volume. Now when romping WOT it can get to Stinger volume. Idle is actually a little louder. Sounds more crisp and chops more actually. The borlas seem to mellow out or smooth out the idle more and hide some of the chop. But honestly big difference in driving. I would recommend to try again and drive with them.I actually bought the MBRP's over the winter (found a good deal on a set online). I had them on the car briefly in the garage but did not drive with them. They sound amazing but I think they are probably just too loud for a daily. I suppose I could try actually driving with them but based on idling/revving, they were too much.
TBH I even have high flow cats and I'm not sure how the MBRP's are quieter than Borla Stingers for you
They get a bit louder as you put some miles on them. I have no idea how people say they are way too quiet. I mean if my borlas were a 9/10 on loud I'd rate these a 7 or 8. Now when getting it I'd say 9. But just normal driving easy 7. But I have noticed most guys put them on drive once and say its too quiet. I absolutely love them and will never use another again. Only other is the fr500s but these sound close but also I love the tips on these and the volume is right.It's why there are so many different exhausts available. I sold my MBRPs because they were too quiet. I've got LTs, ORH, and FR500s and everyone asks how I don't get arrested. I had convinced myself that, yeah, my car was too loud and so I bought the MBRPs. Put them on, drove them for two miles, turned around and came home and realized I didn't smile once while driving. It was a nice deep mellow sound, but after I put the FR500s back on I knew I was done. I would probably have a different setup if it was my DD.
My understanding was the rasp comes from the LTH. Not the mufflers.
I have kooks long tubes and off-road H and have some rasp. It's not from my FM outlaws.
Like you said, they keep it a secret so that customers buy directly from them. My guess for the offset is probably between 38-40mmThey clear because of Vorshlag's magical offsets that they won't tell anybody what they are.
I wonder, do they erase the numbers off the back of the wheels to keep them a secret?
Plus, they're only 10" wide, so it's not that hard to make a 295 fit in the front.
I had my 305/40/18 drag radials on the front for an autocross session, they cleared fine. Yes, they're Nittos and Nitto runs small, but they're still a pretty wide tire for the front.
And they worked awesome, no flopping onto the sidewalls like I had feared they might
I like them a lot, I'd love a silver set for my car. They look awesome.
I just wish they weren't so secretive about their offsets.
I understand why they do it, they're protecting their R&D and they want that customer to buy from them.
Lots of people out there that want to run wide wheels/tires front and rear, being more transparent with the fitment solutions would make it easier for many to buy the right-fitting wheel to begin with.
I'd like to know how they are when you try them out again.Well, maybe I'll do that. I can't keep these Edelbrocks on anyway so might as well try out the MBRP's. I also love the looks of the MBRP system, though I hate the non adjustable tips as I've been having difficulty getting those types to line up correctly on my car.
