Default What offset for 18 x 11in rims

Curios if anone is running 18 or 19 inch rims and what the offsets are to keep them from rubbing. Assuming somwhat normal size tires.

I am looking to get the most tires under the rearend without running issues. I would like at least an 11 in wide rim in the rear.

Thanks in advance for any help.

IIRC RowdyITR had 10 or 10.5 Jlines without rubbing. Maybe you should contact him for an idea on offsets.

Thanks for all the help. I have C2 racing harts now which I love. I am debating selling them and getting some wider rims or having them split and material added and balanced.

Turbo Need more tire.

I just can't see the 11" wide wheel fitting without modification on the car. At some point you run out of room on the inside to run a high enough offset and they then hit on the brakes.

18x11 may fit with a lower offset... i'd be afraid it would not clear the control arms... maybe 18x11 +65
