have a set of do luck double six that im sending out to get barrels replaced and new offsets
rim size is 18
want 11in width for 285 tire all the way around
i have been told two diffrent sets of offsets and im just trying to figure out what excatly i need to just get a hella flush fitment without running into rubbing or turning lock to lock issues. want to try to keep even tire width since its more even for road course driving.
off sets that i have been givin already

18x11 with +25 off set all the way around
and
18x11 +20 to +15 just would like to know what on it is so i dont need to guess

You have Do Luck Double Sixes??? :O I still want a set of those SOOO bad. I'd tell you what offsets I'm gonna use but I don't have 11" wheels so, sorry. I can't wait to see these wheels on the car though. DROOL.

There is website with an interactive calculator/illustration. I was checking out some different offsets and tire sizes. Anyways thought it might help a little.

remember that stock FD is 225/50/16 on an 8" wheel and +50 offset.

Check the calculator above and keep on messing with it until you figure out what will NOT rub on the suspension or stick out further than your 30mm or 20mm fenders.

You have a chance to make this setup come out perfect but it won't be easy. The +25 will stick out 55mm past the fenders; the lower the offset the more it'll stick out...Any higher than +35 and they'll be too close to the suspension.

+33?

Gotta wait a minute and see if the suspension guys have any other ideas though.

Right now I have 18x10 +38 in the front and 18x10.5 +15 in the rear, however, I pulled the hell outta my rear fenders and I have no clue how much mm I added. I would say they're around 2 inches wider though. My front wheels meet the stock fender pretty much perfectly.

I'm getting ready to add +20mm wide fenders to the front and put on 18x9.5 +22 and from what I've figured out so far that should fit pretty close, and I'm going to do 18x10.5 +22 on the rear with probably a 10mm spacer bringing it to +12, and use a slightly slimmer tire (with no bulge this time) and I think that will work too. My rear fenders don't help you though, not until I can figure out how much wider they are for real.

I HAVE to see pics of the FD with these sexy Double Six wheels though. I don't think I've seen them on an FD before, and I have wanted a set for several years now.

Have you decided on your set up yet? Have any pictures? I'm going to be running an 18x10 +18 up front with the Feed 25mm over fenders. That is supposed to be rather aggressive, so I would think with the 18X11 you would want to run the +38mm or more if possible. Would like to see how your setup came out.
