That makes sense as you would only be extending the rim outward and thus reducing the offset. 42mm difference in offset works out to a little more than an inch and 5/8 . Was he using spacers too with his rims? Seems to me you should have more than an inch and a half of fender flare with the bs rears no?
Just re read and yes the bs rear offset is way different but it has a different axle
factory is 9” 54 offset
so going with a 10.5” rim should be a 16mm offset to keep the rim at the same distance from the inner fender... and on a 12” -22 offset if I am doing the math correctly

I like my rear bumper. And I like my aluminum front fenders. If I get the BS kit, I have to put FRP fenders on front and glue on the rear flares, plus figure out the side skirt fit and rear bumper. I just don’t need to replace that much to justify the full BS kit. At the end of the day, if I’m gonna glue things on anyway, for about the same $, I can get the pieces I need to run a much wider track (front bumper with splitter, fender flares, side skirts). And I like the look. I’m way past trying to pretend to look OEM anymore, so why not just go all in. It’s what I really want to do anyway. And I think I can do 95% of the install in my garage. Should be here in April.
Ya that’s part of my issue with the black series so many are doing it now and it I think I would feel like I’m pretending to be a black series. Have to post it up when you get it.
