Thumbs up Widest wheel width on stock?

hope some fellow s2k guys or gals can lend me a hand here. I need to know the widest wheel/tire combo i can use on stock and also the offsets that you use. i'm having trouble finding companies that make wheels with high offsets and width.

I have a 10.5" rear wheel with a 73 offset. 10.5" is the max you can run safely in the rear. BBS, WORK, VOLK, CCW, HRE, Iforged, Kinesis, Fikse, to name a few allmake wide wheels in different sizes and choices. Look em up.

Go check out the Group Buy/ vendor forums, PM Rijowysock, and the rest are amde to order. I can help you out too but you have to give me specifics. DPE is another brand to look into ; also made to order.

the fronts being 8.5 should be somewhere in the mid 50's, for the 10 inch rear, you would need anything over 70 so you wouldnt rub.

Call CCW and they will tell you since they have made MANY sets for our car. They know what they are doing.
