345's ??
I find it hard to believe those tires are 2 3/8" wider then my tires (285vs.345) Not really saying they are not, but I would really like to see a shot from directly behind to see how they placed a 13 1/2" wide tire inside the fender lip. Hmm 12 inch wide rim with a +78mm backspacing? WOW! That's an eye opener!
lol Here's a pic of my tiny 285's

front rims are 20x8.5 w/ +36mm offset. IMHO they could have been moved slightly more towards the outside (smaller offset number)
Rear rims are 20x10 w/ +45mm offset. (99.9% sure on this)
fyi Car was lowered with Eibach Pro spring and Tokico D-Spec.
and things that are hidden like adjustable LCA & UCA, pan hard bar, front and rear sway bars, blah blah blah (adding up to about all the darn bolt ons one car get lol)

Edited because I had my head in a dark space. Thanks CA

My front wheels are 18x9, +36mm offset
My rears are 18x10.5, +55 mm offset
You could probably fit a 305 on those wheels (the rears) assuming that 10.5" was an acceptable width according to the tire manufacturer, without any problems. However please understand that's a GUESS. If you want to do the job right, go take the actual measurements or do a test-fitment. I didn't bother to do calculations for any other sizes becasuse a) it's a pain in the ***, and b) I already knew what size I wanted to run in the back, and that's 295/45 R18.

SDI, you mean OFFSET, not BACKSPACE. The two terms are often confused but they mean very different things.
