So I found another possible option, The Forgestar F14's in Matte Black. Looking to run a 19x10 front with a 19x11 rear setup. Tires will be Michelin PS2's with a 275 front, 305 rear (I have access to porsche takeoffs for cheap).

Since I have the option on offsets, I want to make sure I order the right one. Looking to have it sit flush front and rear but still not poking since I will also be road racing(dont need it hitting the fender on the apex lol). I'm guessing a +40 front with a +45 rear would be good. Any and all input on ideas for the correct offset is much appreciated!!!

Arent you using a +45 (and now going with a 5mm spacer)? I do realize that you are running a narrower tire. Does the actual rim tuck, poke, or is it flush with the fender?

you could pull the rears off with the right tire and a fender roll/pull but a 305 would be hard with that offset. my rims equal out to be almost your exact offset in the rear but are 10" with a 32mm and i had to roll the fenders and pull them just a hair but if i had a wider tire then it might start to scrub but im on coilovers. You could do it with a 285 and maybe a 295 a 285 might looked a little stretched. How low is your car cause if your not slammed on coilovers or anything i think you could pull it off, but a 50mm rear would be perfect if thats a possibilty.

Call Steeda. They have a 20X11 wheel that they run with a 305. They should be able to tell you about clearance issues.

the actual rim pokes over 5mm, dont have an actual measurement but it is out. i may space it out for more poke

i'll go re measure this weekend (or thursday if i get out early) but IIRC 50 should be approx wheel flush w/ the fender; a 305 will blob over just a little; 55 should have the entire setup including wheel under the fender. check with the manufacturer as well

remember, even if your tire/wheel is in the fender doesnt mean a big impact wont take out your left fender because of our panhard setup depending on your drop setup

I guess im just worried about it rubbing on the inside. So maybe +40 front, +50 rear. Im gonna contact Steeda like Kobie suggested.

On 10.5 with a 35 offset there is 1.5" clearance inside with about a .75-1" sticking out.

Take it for what its worth.

:headscratch:
I thought the rear fenders are already rolled? How are you rolling them further?

yes they are rolled but its just a common way of saying it, you use a fender roller to pull the fenders out slowely it takes time to do a good job but it can be very effective if the person know what there doing.
