You can extend the inside by 2" and then run 20-25mm hub centric spacers, cheapest route. There are many horror stories with spacers so get the bester brand hub-centric ones.

I think you guys are all missing the biggest point as to why this is a wasted effort. 305s on the rear are not going to hook any better. I have been running a 305 PSS for 3 years so I can say first hand it will still rip the tires into 3rd gear. I have not had any better 60' times at the drag strip regardless of tire pressure, how hot the tire is or my damper settings.
The 305 tire is going to shine in the turns much more then a straight line.
If you really want to keep the stock wheels and hook better then get some R888 tires and make changes to the static camber settings, dampers and spring rates.
I think you'll get a lot more improvement there and the car will still have the stock appearance that you want.

now days, no one is really catching anyone off guard unless you have a bunch of unexperienced types running around your area that know nothing about custom performance mods. Although there are some folks that automatically assume that there is no way in hell a cars factory HP/Tq can be altered.. LOL

I don't underestimate any car on the road these days. So much modding going on you just never know what anyone has under there anymore. Even I would be cautious about pulling up next to an F simply because of those shots of NOS that lurk in the dark.

My advice would be to purchase a nice light weight wheel in the offset and width you desire.

Now I know there are people who love this kind of thing, but I think it's rediculous. I could be wrong but there must be sacrifices that directly affect the drivability of the car. What's wrong with a small drop on some rims? What's the purpose of doing this?

It's a pain in the butt for the CNC machine to cut out the face. If done correctly and fully balanced; it is just like any good 2 piece wheels out there. You are basically welding a wheel face into a hoop, just like how normal 2 piece wheels are made. People don't normally do this because of the cost is just as much as buying new wheels. There are some that are particular about a style that is not offering in the offsets and width that they wanted so they will fork out the money.

Yep, he could actually get a nice set of CCW's in 19x11 or 19x11.5, that's what I would do

Adding 2" is just gonna make the already heavy rear wheels even heavier. And wider tires also add a lot of weight. And they would be cutting into a forged wheel...

I am actually thinking of going down to 18' if I go with an aftermarket wheel so I can get more rubber on it. If I went with an 11.5 wide wheel, would I have to use spacers, or will that still fit without anything?

abohler

After a lot of thought I am considering going down to an 18. If I can fit an 11 or preferably an 11.5 (Do you think that would fit?) what would you suggest doing camber, damper, and spring rate wise?

what about going to a different tire? R888 in a 275 or 285 if available?

I have 11.5" wide CCW wheels in the rear. I was able to fit them without any major issues

abohler

I would love to do that, but I think the R888 tire is only manufactured for a 19 in 265 or 295. I would buy a 285 right now if I were able to find them. If anyone is aware of a 285 in this tire, I would be forever grateful.

RSWill

If you run custom offset wheels, say and 18x11.5 for example, as long as you have the EXACT offset you are looking for, a spacer is NEVER needed.

If you don't really want to spend the money out of pocket per say, you could sell your OEM wheels and tires and use that money toward your new set-up.

BS ISF

I take it your have pre 2012 rims? otherwise you could squeeze a 295 on a 9.5 rim no problem.
