I wonder how similar the G Coupe fenders are to the Z fenders.
I've been thinking about getting some track wheels and have been debating about running 265/275 on the fronts and 295/305 on the rears. I want to get as flush as possible without rubbing, even on hard cornering. Preferably 10f/11r or 9.5f/10.5r inch wide wheels.
For simplicity reasons, let's assume I go with a 9.5 front, 10.5 rear 18" track wheel on 265 fronts and 295 rears. What offset range would any of you recommend for this setup?
I'm currently running 19x9.5" fronts on +7 offsets on 245/35's and 19x10.5" rears on +3 offsets on 275/35's. Fenders rolled. I rarely rub; only exceptions is when I have to angle on a steep driveway.
Obviously, my current setup on my G Coupe is not ideal for tracking. It's more of a show than go type of setup. But I would love to have a track setup since I do plan on taking it to the track in the future (i.e. autox, road course, etc).

For the rears, I used to run a 10.5" wide wheel with a 305 at +43 offset. I tried a 15mm spacer to net a 10.5" wheel with a +28 offset. It was ok until the car was lowered, then just needed a light fender roll.
If you are only going to run a 265, no need for the added weight of a 9.5" wheel. You could even run a 9" wheel with some of the smaller 275s.

Car is covered in dust from not really being moved since early Dec, but pulled it out of the garage on Thurs for some work.......being that it is so dirty I just used my point and shoot for the pics. I will break out the dslr when I clean it up.....
265 front/275 rear Star Specs w/rpf1's. Net offset is +20 in front and +15 in the rear.

I am currently reading and searching this particular thread.
I have some questions and/requests. I'm currently running 255/35/19 with 22mm offset for the front on 19"X9.5" wheels. I am planning to install BBK which will most likely require 15mm spacer for the fronts. Too much lips on the rim....
<19"X9.5 rims with 255/35/19 on 7mm offset>
What do I need to do make above set-up fit without rubbing without switching to smaller tires? Fender roll? Camber kit? Does any one have pics of similar set up for the front? Is this even possible?
I will be getting new wheels that will fit BBK for track only. Above set-up will be for street use.
Thanks

If you absolutely have to run that big of a spacer, you COULD dial in a ton of negative camber with aftermarket front A-arms.
Are you sure you need that big of a spacer?

You can't roll the front fenders as there isn't anything to roll. You could do a pull, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you don't care what your fenders look like (many look pretty busted up after this is performed).
