I can find out the offset by measuring and calculating it myself, but why should I go through the hassle. I am happy with my set up.

Iono, maybe to help further the community a bit more? If you want to go off of your "custom" measurement then what is the backspacing that they measured?

Getting new wheels and it would be nice to know how wide and offset on those. I can assume if its a 10" wheel then its at least a 40-45offset

I don't think Daddie is even on widened steelies anymore. IIRC, he's on wheels that can also be found on a new Shelby Mustang or Lamborghini Gallardo.

i love those white rims :) reminds me of vw corrado widen steelies

They arent the same wheels. They are rotiform cast 1 piece wheels. Just find it annoying he is keeping his custom (more then likely diamond racing) info from everyone. Where it might give some inside to those who actually care to know on exactly how much room is back there for inner clearance

I am still on steelies. The steelies are custom made. Rear: 16X10 Front: 16X8. Offset: Unknown!!!

The shop that custom made my steelies is Pico Wheels in North Hollywood.

I don't think you grasp that he's probably sponsored. They don't pay him to give him info so he can replicate what they do on the cheap. They pay him to wear his wheels without asking questions.

Yeah, it sucks that he isn't telling you what you want to know, but he isn't telling you what you want to know because HE doesn't know. Contact a shop and go by the measurments he HAS posted and maybe you can hit somewhere close on what he did.

I remember in your last thread that you widened the rear fenders, but I don't remember by how much and I'm too lazy to go dig it up. Maybe try adding that to the width of his rears and that should give you at least a vague starting point. 15 or 16"x10+your widened fender width?

Or hell, just grab some adapters and source some Dodge Viper rear wheels. They wear 335s IIRC. It sounds like that's somewhere close to wide enough. lol

One thing I did for my sponsors was to help interested people become the sponsor's customer by telling them how much the parts (or service) cost.
The sponsors like that.

Hard to source the work when they cant "custom measure" the fenders and backspacing. So....if i know he has a 10" and has a +48 then i know i can run a 12"+48 or, 10"+24 or 11"+36, etc.
