Will This Fit?
I'd like to fit 18x10s with 275s all the way around. OE Wheels has cobra r's that are 18x10 with a 42mm offset. Just wanted to make sure this will fit before I buy. I remember seeing a couple guys with either 18x10s or 20x10s all the way around but don't remember who and what the offset was.
Boy, I know the S197 runs a 9.5" wheel all the way around on the Cobra, but will get crowded up front to run a 10" wheel. Hear told, it has been done and off-set is critical to avoid rubbing up front (not quite soo much in the rear)
Shelby Mustang GT500 wheels
These are +50mm off-set 9.5" wheel, so I would NOT go +42mm on a 10" wheel and expect it to fit well, as I just don't think so. Your proposed 10" wheel is going to be a bit over 1/2" closer to the fender and tire would be nearly 1/4" in addition to this! The GT500 runs a 255 up front, so would be a bit "thin" on the wheel so really helps with clearance.
Bottom line, I would not go with that wheel unless OE Wheels GUARANTEES fitment of that tire/wheel combo both front/rear on your ride.
