Ah so they offer the same wheel in two offsets for the same car depending on whether it's cast or forged? That's weird.
What I'm thinking about doing is shopping for 285/40/18's and just purchasing 2 at first. At the very worst I could run those on the back and if they don't clear the front I'll either look at 275's or at least see how big a spacer I would need to run to clear the strut.
yes they are different.
Here's an idea you can do real easy to buy more room.
Buy the new Ford bolts to put the strut on the spindle if yours are NOT fine threaded. (YOu can torque them to 166ft.lb.s)
Then take a carbide bit dremol and slot the top strut hole to the outside so the spindle will move outwards. Then if you can not get enough camber to compensate it, slot the holes up top or get a caster camber kit. With a very little bit of dremmel work on that top bolt hole (make it a slot) you can get a large amount of movement. I did this for a guy a few years ago.
