Yet another offset question

[tripp]

I'm about to pull the trigger on a set of CF5Vs and would like some input from people more knowledgeable than myself.
Car is a 16 GT PP, lowered ~1 inch all around. Wheels will be 19x10 front 19x11 rear, with 275/35 front and 305/35 DRs rear. But here's the kicker, the car will have GT350R brakes all around.
The quote I got has the front offset listed at ET11 and rear at ET62. That front offset sounds super aggressive to me, and the rear sounds a little tucked. I want flush or just slightly tucked, no poke whatsoever.
Anybody have any input on this?
Thanks in advance and sorry to add another thread to the long list...

That is a pretty aggressive front offset. For the rear, it could be a little tucked but not horrible.

Our 19x10 EC-7 have a +40mm offset and sit flush up front, while our 19x11" EC-7 have a +52mm offset and sit flush in the rear. No spacers required for either fitment. If you happen to still be looking for options, our 19" EC-7 in Race Silver finish are on sale currently.

Our upcoming SM-10 will be offered in a 19x11" with a +26mm offset for the front and still sits flush.

No idea if it will fit over the GT350 brakes, but this is my 16 PP with CF5V 20x9.5+30 275/35 and 20x11+55 315/35

Standard fitment for a 20x10 on a PP is +35 offset, +11 will poke for sure
I think +55 is the best for the rear, you can get very close to -1 camber with a 305 (mine is -1.4 in this pic)

Apex, you'd have to sell him wheels for a GT350 in the rear as the rear GT350 brakes change the hub offset pushing the wheel out on a non-GT350. I'm not sure by how much, to be honest.

You need to find out how much the GT350 brakes change the hub offset on a non-GT350. I think it only matters in the rear, but I have forgotten since I learned it.


Then you need to try and get as close to a 35 offset front and between 50-52 offset rear for those wheel widths on the stock hubs/stock brakes. That will put you just at the fender but without rubbing, assuming you have appropriate camber settings.

Our EC-7 offsets are all the same across the different models. Only the upcoming SM-10 has a "GT350 spec" fitment, and even that can be ran on the other cars perfectly fine.

This GT350 is running our 19x11" ET52 in the rear with no other mods and fitment is on point. He is also running the same wheel up front with a 25mm spacer and extended studs.

Interesting. So what is the hub offset change with GT350 rear brakes? Is it only a few mm? I was led to believe it's so significant you have to get special fancy pants wheels.

I could not tell you an exact number as I do not know for certain. It is obviously fairly insignificant from our testing. Here is a car with regular brakes and 11" rear wheels with +52mm offset.

Pictures have a close enough angle on the front view toward the rear wheel to conclude it's about 5mm difference.
