I dont even know. I assume your talking about offset. the wheels are 9 inches wide front 10 rear.

We have the same rear tire size but yours is bigger. Those Michelins run big and hankooks run smaller. Can I get a pic showing how flush it is and how the sidewall looks on those rears.


Thanks!

Yes I would greatly appreciate this as well, that stance and look is exactly what I am trying to go for as well.

245/40 R19 8.75 +35 up front 275/35 R19 10.5 +25 rear, inner mounting face is “hyper disk” and the rims have double two inch lips and straight faces. Due to the six pot front BBK I had to use a 3mm spacer up front. The rear wheels fit with shaving down the car’s inner fender lip. But, I wanted a more aggressive look so I added the fender flares, cut out the fender material behind the flares and added 20 mm spacers and installed extended ARP lug nut studs.

Sorry bro, no side shots. And I’m working on the diff now so it’s gonna be a minute before I can take some for you. However, the spacer numbers haven’t been included so those offsets are what’s been stamped on the wheels.
I do have some pics of the wheel fitment before I added flares and spacers and only some inner fender shaving. Again, my fault but no side shots..lol
