forelines "magical" offset

skag said:

I remember reading on some stores site that there were forgeline wheel with a "special offset" to allow you to run 315s out back. This is great and all I just don't like the way they look so I was wondering what's the wheel size and offset to make this work

My Forgelines had these dimensions:

17x9.5 fronts with 42mm offset
17x11 rears with 46.8mm offset

I ran 275/40-17's on the fronts and 315/35-17's on the rears without problems. I did have to modify the rear fender lips and also beat in the frame rail inside the rear wheelwells slightly so the tire would stop rubbing it.

Now I run the tires on wider wheels from Complete Custom Wheel. They're:

17x10 fronts with 44.5mm offset
17x11.5 rears with 50.8mm offset.

No rubbing problems have surfaced with the wider wheels. Most of the extra width compared to the Forgelines is on the inside.
