don't know who owns the car, if its helpful, I can tell you that he has a saleen grill, a roush front bumper, some varrstoen wheels that are a knock off of volk te37's, vinyl carbon fiber looking wrap on the roof, roush side splitters .. and what appears to be a gt500 spoiler, but that is largely a guess with the picture provided
Thanks!

I've read over those blogs a few times now but I just hate the look of those wheels. I'm not looking to build my car into a track car or do any autocross or track events with it. I'm just wanting to make a little saturday night cruiser. I drive the car to and from work so I'm not going to be able to slam it or anything. Below you will find a picture of the look I'm going for. The rear fitment is WAY too wide and that isn't how wide I want to go but I am really digging the front fitment. The wheels are 18x10.5 +22 to give you an idea of what I"m working with.

I'm starting to wonder if anyone in the domestic world understand what I mean by offset....
When you buy a wheel it's not just a 20x10.5 wheel and they're all the same. You have a lot of different things to think about, especially when running big brakes. Offset is VERY important when trying to get proper fitment of the wheels in relation to the fender. I know the whole hellaflush thing is retarded, I'm not the biggest fan of it but I do like my wheels to be flush with the fenders. I don't want them to be sunk in an inch, hell I don't want them sunk in ANY at all if I can help it.

Im looking at some 18x9.5 +30 in front and 18x10.5 +30 in back, Like the OP I want to be as flush as possible, but I don't want to poke out, I suck at the offset thing, so I was wondering if anyone could help me, or help me find information on figuring out the offset thing. Thanks!

That Vossen car even has some sunken wheel syndrome going on. Like I was saying being from the import world where "fitment is everything" I want to be able to pinch a business card between my tires and rear quarters. Is that excessive, yes but isn't that what it's all about? I'm looking into IRS setups and if I can't find one I like I'll be looking into designing and manufacturing one.
