How did you measure them? Interior lip to interior lip or exteriors?

u'll probably want 5-10mm spacers on the rear.

I figured I might, I had planned on doing a test fit in the next couple weeks. If I can ever find some free time.

Both, the measurement in the first post (9.5, 10.5) is the distance from bead seat to bead seat, or interior lip. The 10 3/8" and 11.5 is the overall rim width, or exterior.

I finally found the time to test fit the wheels. I knew they had aggressive offsets but it looks like they're gonna require some work to fit. I will need to use my the spacers that are on the car now with my stock sport wheels in order to clear the front calipers.

I really don't like any of the fender flares I've seen that are available so most likely I'll extend the fenders and quarter panels with metal. I've always loved wide body cars and it looks like I'm about to own one.

So you're going to do a camcam build? Should be interesting. Good luck!

Just noticed you originally went with 9.5&10.5 why the switch to 10&11.5 now?

sry I don't know what a camcam build is.

I wish the wheels were 9.5/10.5 I'd have less of a headache. That's what they were advertised as. If you measure them from inner bead seat to inner bead seat they are that, but overall they are 10.25/11.5

I saw you said in another thread that you were going to extend the fenders which reminded me of this guy, camcam

I just picked up a set of RAYS G-25s 20x10 +30f and 20x 12 +20 R. Looking at tire options now. Want to stay as close to normal camber as possible. Would 325/25/20 work in the rear?? Looking at 275/30/20 up front. I KNOW that is a thin tire but only other options are 35 series in rear and that makes the overall diameter 2" bigger.

So that's what was in those boxes in your IG lol

Offset looks pretty good for front/ but rear may be too aggressive/ I've seen +26 w/325/25's & +28 w/345/30/19. Both are very close to flush... Look at "Meaty Tire Thread" post. Both of these ~Z's~ are posted there.

I would tell you if I could remember the offsets of those 20x11.5 HREs. However, at one point I considered Rohana RF2 in 20x12 in 27mm offset. I found out from a source that the wheel would fit in the rear with 325/25. I'd venture a guess that the 20-mm offset may not need body work, if it did, it woukd probably be minimal.
