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

The fronts are a shitty offset, had to run a 1" spacer because it was rubbing against the arm at full lock. . .

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!

I wonder how well 18X10 and 18X12 CCW's would fit with the front and rear Burnout widebody fenders.

Anyone?

Something between 6-7" of backspacing. . .that's how CCW measures their offsets. . .I'll get a measurement this afternoon and let you know. . .

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.

M'kay, so with the Burnout fenders installed a +20 or +25 offset for the front and rear would be good?

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

Again it will depend on the width you chose. If you only go with a 9" wide front wheel you will need close to a +0 offset. If you go narrower you will need a negative offset.

For the rear it's gotta be 10 or 11. 295-series tires
I don't have the rear overfenders, but for reference I am also running the 18x10 +18 with a 265/35 in the rear on stock slightly pulled quarter panels. I believe the burnout fenders give 20mm extra clearance. So if you went with an 18x10 an offset of 0 to +5 should work, or 18x11 with a +25 or so.

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.
