offset suggestions for 305's w/ HMS flares...

With the wife getting rear ended in the 507 it gave me the chance to do what I'd been on the fence to do.....

HMS flares are ordered ...... yup - paid extra to get them and more yet for express but they were great to work with and should have them to my shop early next week.

also going all in on the build - putting the Renntech TB's, airboxes, CF DS, RB 2 pieces discs all the way around and AR LTH w/ cats and having it Adam and the team at EC do the install plus their E85 kit w/ injectors and some other misc fun....

Very excited and impatient....

that leads me to my question .... to get 305's in the rear ( stock height) and match my current 18" CF5's I need to do a staggered 18/19" setup to find a tire in that size..... what would you all suggest for an offset on the CF5's in 19x11 ? 29 is the lowest Forgestar can do - but I've seen all the way up to a 45 suggested....

I don't intend to lower the car, and might want to be able to cram a 315 slick in there someday as this is not going to be a DD going forward...

thoughts for those who've pioneered this and real world results would be awesome...

Thanks !

So you start a new thread asking a question that has all the answers your asking in a dedicated thread with the title of the the brand name of the fenders and probably one of the longest threads of the forum with all the information. Well done
