Possible interference with the strut. Wheels should fit...may stick out a couple of mm due to rotor thickness if my wheelwell estimation is correct.

Whoa! That I did *NOT* know! If that was posted in the thread before, I totally missed that! That's really important. So when picking out wheels, use the graph to "shift" the offset line outwards by the thickness of the rotors (where applicable). Thank you very much Joe!!

Just wanted to say thank you! I could not have fit my wheels without this!

I got Drag dr-34 black with red lip...

Car has all poly in the frt and rear suspension. I converted to coilovers in the rear... 10 inch 300lb Summit springs with the 7 inch Coleman Racing sleeve and perch. In the front, I cut 1.5 coils off the stock WS6 springs (stiffest WS6 springs avail on 84)

18x8 front 47 offset with a 8-9mm spacer... effectively (39-40 offset). I knew a brake conversion was in my future and I found out the brake convesion added about 8-9mm, so this offset will dial me in perfect once that is completed! Front tire for now 225/45 (cheap used pair to get on the road) In the future I will be going with the same width or possibly wider but either way will be with a lower profile.

18x8.5 rear with 45 offset... only just a tiny bit of rubber out of the wheel well... just how I wanted it... Tire is a 265/35... Did not feel confident enough to try the 285s yet... maybe with an alignment I will have the space back there. I have about a finger b/w the spring perch and tire.

Everything fits perfect with no rubbing issues!
