With the current setup of 285/30R18's up front, I've got a decent amount of bump travel in order to stay off the frame rails, which would cause wheel lockups under heavy (1.2g) braking. Strut clearance is tight, but I'm not running a spacer with the strut housings that I currently have on the car (early prototype Deviant housings). I believe the newer version housings have more clearance, so it may be possible to run more backspacing/ offset. I think I might be at Meadowlands after Nats, but most likely not before.

My new autocross setup, they're Hoosier A6s so they're going to be wider than your average street tire.... It's not as staggered as you would think because the 225 hoosiers are really wide... The front pokes a bit but has no room to go strut side. Hopefully just a roll but might need a little pull too. As for the rear, I'd have to look closer, but it appears the rears have both a tad of front space and back space so maybe a 295/35/17 A6 in the future?? And it might not even need a roll, but I'll go ahead and do that. And yes I need wider rims but they're both within specs of the tires. Will go wider down the road.
Rear 275/45/16 16x8.5 +37 (equivalent to ~285/295 street tire...) Front 225/50/16 16x7.5 +22 (equivalent to ~255/275 street tire...) |

255/275 MB Weapons
Put more preload on the front springs for a track day so the front is kinda 4x4 status here. Fixed now.

Instead of being a scrub, why don't you calculate and post your proposed backspace, and then we can talk.

Why not? I'm planning to have my XXR 527's widened from 9.75" to 11" so I can comfortably run a 315mm tire in the back of my coupe.

used rotas ($300) have a friend widen wheels, idk 200? lets say total 600 for some odd costs. 600 is still cheaper than wide wheels available, considering he's going to get x12.

Weldcraft racing in Michigan does wheel widening for $150 Each wheel. to get 2 wheels widened is only $300. not a bad idea.

It has its pros and cons. There's more weight from the bigger wheel, but You can't rotate the wheels just like with a traditional staggered setup. Tires often have better control and more precise feel on a wider wheel (to an extent). So a narrower tire on the same size wheel up front will improve control, and in the rear you can run a wider tire for more grip. Some may do it for fender clearance reasons as well. I'd go with a square setup to maximize front grip and simplify the whole getup.
