Wheel offset help!!

[06Gt]

Ok so im going to be getting a set of 18" 9" and 10" black 5 spoke Saleen wheels. But i need help on picking the offset. They make a set made for our car and a set for the 04 and down cars. But i want a 24mm offset on the front (04 style) so that way the wheels will sit flush with the fenders. But on the back i want to go with the 45mm offset(05 up) offset so the wheels dont stick way out. But my concern is that the back wheels will be sucked in and the fronts will sit flush? Is there anyone that has any pics of this set up?

Also another question i have is, If i were to go with a 30mm offset on the front INSTEAD of the 24mm offset will 275-40 still fit with rubbing?

to be honest, i dont know. i purchased the car as is and know the rear rims are 40mm offset from his thread. sorry I couldn't be more help. here is a link to that thread.

i run 18x10 with +41 offset and they sit flush or very close to flush

What are you running in the front? Will 275-40 rub with a 30mm offset?

 

[Kaldar142]

i wouldnt put a 275 on a 9"

Im running 275 40 17 on my stock 8" or 8.8"(whatever they are) wheels. Its fine with a 9" wheel. Im just worried about rubbing on a 30mm offset. i know they wont rub with a 26mm offset just unsure about the 30mm.

275's fit fine on a 9" wheel....look at the 03/04 Cobra's for reference....that is the stock tire size on them.....

Do you have access to the 26mm offset wheels with 275's on them? If so, stick them on and make some measurements...

 

[Kaldar142]

IMO 255 is max size for a 9"

sure you can run a 275 on a 9" but it will bubble, i hate it when tires bubble over the wheel...not to mention it makes the sidewall extremely flexible.

9 inch rim is the minimum safe recommendation by tire manufacturers for a 275 tire. The Terminators came that way and the sidewall sits about vertical.
