Offset
Stangers, do you know what offset I need if I'm running 275x40x18 tires and 18x9.5? It's a 2011 mustang GT w/ brembo package and H&R sport springs (keep in mind it's for regular and track driving.

+35 is about as far as you should go on a 9.5 wide. That will put the rim to the very edge of the wheel well. Now, if you roll the tire (narrow tire on a wide rim) you can go further but I wouldn't do that on the track. I run a 19x9.5 with a +35 and 285/35-19's. Be aware that if you're running the Brembo's you would need a rim that would clear them. Offset would be more than an issue. The SVE Drifts from Late Model Restoration clear the Brembo's and give you that +35 offset.

Thanks Fergel, I guess I need to find the min offset to clear the brembos first then work from there.

From what I hear, only a select few 18" wheels fit over the Brembos. I know of one, but I'm sure there are more. I know I didn't address your question at all, and for that I apologize, but I wanted to let you know.

Thanks fellas, contacted Vivid Racing and they worked with same wheel size and offset (18x9.5 w/ +35) for a Stang GT w/ BBP and no clearance issues. Contact in Korea list them for about 3.8Mil Won so about $3.4K out the door.

The 18x10 GT4 wheels from American Muscle clear the Brembos with plenty of room and are less than 20lbs per wheel. $155 per wheel is a lot better than $900. Just a thought.

The 18x9 wheels this style clear them as well.

OP, great wheels. Not too many Muscle guys running Volks until lately. I know some M3 guys that run them now too.

Pressed graphite (dark grey) is the only color for that size and offset.
