Max traction: 18"x12"

[sculptor310]

Anyone running 18"x12"s in back?

I'm looking at a set of forgestar CF5s with either 18x11 or 18x12 in the back. My understanding is that the 12s will stick out from the fender a bit. Any other drawbacks?

(My car is Whipple-charged, and I need as much traction as I can get.)

just ordered a set of forgestar cf5 18x12. planning to mount a set of hoosier a7 335/30r18. expect to have them in march to mount and test fit. i spec'd an offset that should allow me to fit them under the stock fenders, lowered about an inch, with about -2.4 of camber - but i'm also prepared to pull them a bit if necessary. stay tuned

awesome, that confirms my suspicions - i already shaved my upper shock mount a few mm in anticipation a few weeks back. when i checked clearance on my 18x11/315 setup, i calculated that it would be the first point of interference with an 18x12 when i removed the spring and worked the wheel from full droop to full bump (only real concern is close to full bump). the less camber you have, less issue with inboard clearance and more issue with fender clearance.

vossen fit a 20x12 et 50 or 55 without rubbing, poking, or pulling...on air, tucking rim.
