Going 18x11" Square with 305 Tires and Rotatable. It Can Be Done!

12s are possible but you need: 1. Cortex offset struts, 2. a 20mm spacer up front if square offset desired, 3. camber. The fronts will be aggressive; camber is a must.

I ordered mine in et38 front/et58 rear. Still haven't gotten around to mounting them up.

@neema
You got a 12" rim with a 58 offset on cortex rear outboard coilovers?
Thats almost 9" of back spacing...how did you get it to clear the shock?
What tires were you running?
Is that the setup in your sig pic?

Sorry for the late reply Fabman

The rears work only if the shock is flipped and spring divorced again. (Back to OEM location). Kind of a pain to adjust the shocks since it puts the adjusters at the top mount behind the wheel, but let's the wheel get farther inboard.

I haven't worked/looked at my car for 1+ years. Hoping to come back to it later this year. I miss it a lot

Yeah, that's what I figured....thanks for the response.

I didn't grab a measurement of the caliper to barrel clearance on the 6 Piston brakes, but from eyeball perspective I would say it's 1/4" or a little more. It certainly fills the rim, but there is still plenty of room. I can see if we can get that measurement and update here when we get it.

Jared, Do you have the Cortex coil overs in the rear too or is the spring in the stock location?

I run with Cortex coil overs in the rear, but with this wheel recipe we test fit on a car with stock suspension in the rear and had no fitment issues.
