I'm sorry in advance for taking this thread OT but I wanted to answer your questions. The back inner fenders were sectioned, folded up, welded, and then refinished... I don't remember the exact offset, I'll need to call John at CCW on Monday, but I believe they were ~7 1/4 back or 27 offset - no spacers were required. Rears are 18x11 on 315/30's and fronts are 18x9.5 on 275/35's - great setup for the street/road course, crappy for the drag strip...
Thanks for the props - I'll create a new post once FP finishes up the car.

Quick question: why do you feel this setup is crappy for the drag strip? Just bring camber even in the rear and the forward grip I would think would be incredible.

iforged knows their $hit as opposed to some random kid @ Mackin. You tell iforged what tires/car/bbk you have... and they will make sure the wheels you have are perfect. Your case is great example. Even though they haven't given you the offsets, I will assume it's probably around the low 30 range. What's your rear lip? About 3 inches?

Custom made wheels like iForged make it possible to fit wider tires because they will make the wheels in whatever width & offset you want/need. I didn't ask what the rear lip would be.
I just told Han at Intense that I didn't want the wheel to stick out past the fender and that it would need to clear a Stoptech 14" 4-piston front & rear BBK in the future. Han relayed that info via IM to the rep at iForged who suggested 19x11's and I was told that it wouldn't be a problem as long as we rolled the rear fenders. So I don't know any specs. I just placed my trust in Han and iForged and I am anxiously waiting.

.Westpak actually made me a really nice chrome "twin turbo" emblem (was a bit expensive but is nicely done). I would definitely sport a 'forged performance' badge in chrome...
