project D1, jeebuz, I thought I was nuts with the ccw 12s in the rear lol. Yeah getting tires is retardedly hard. Anything in the 300s aspect ratio are either drag or full r-comps (which im on at present lol). I track the car a lot so I dont really want a stretch and nitto Nt-05 come in a 295, it going to be a slight stretch tho...booo
Can you post a side view of your car with the ccw? Im currently running 18 x 10 in the front with the FD specific backspacing, I was thinking of making them 11.5 in the front.
Heres mine on her first day out this season after the engine swap. My buddies taking turns trying her out lol
Unfortunately I did raise her up an inch, shes not as low as she is in the picture

are yours 18 x 10 in the front? I agree the offsets dont give you a flush look but it is the proper offset to run as much tire as possible. Im running a 5mm spacer in front as well. What size tires are you running at present? it looks like your stretched in all four corners. Im square set up at present with the r-comps, 320 in the rear and 280 in the front. Im looking to drop down to street class so once these are done id like to go with street tires.
Car looks great!

Could anyone suggest what offsets would look/operate the best with the Burnout front/rear fenders?
I am thinking I'll probably just go with an 18X8/18X10 or 18X8.5/18X10.5 rim width with some 255's and 295's.
I don't know if I could handle doing the 18X10 / 18X12+ .....let alone afford it. :P

8 inches wide is pretty narrow. I would go at least 9 or 9.5 in the front. For reference I'm running 18x10 +18 with 255/35/18 in the front with Feed fenders. It sits nice and flush with the fender, however it rubs the frame rail at full lock. I would suggest the equivalent of an 18x10 with between a +20 and +25 offset. So it would be a 18x9 +0 or an 18x9.5 +12 or so.
I am fine with 18" or 19" X 8, 8.5, or 9 width for the front. 255-series tires
For the rear it's gotta be 10 or 11. 295-series tires

No recent pics, but this is how the car kinda sits as of now. The front has been raised a little bit, and the rears have been lowered slightly.
