What did the offsets workout to be? I assume same as stock on fronts?

Fronts are same as stock. The rears are +41.

I made a cardboard template that matched the profile of the sidewall and the flange of the wheel. The closet item was the brake line. The template had to be trimmed to 0.9" to clear. The +41 offset on the 11.5" puts near all of the extra 0.5" towards the inside. A +40 or +39 would have bought a little more clearance, but I didn't want the wheels to "poke" out.

Nice! I am trying to figure out what offset I need to run 11-12?s wide up front. Since they sometimes split the difference on the wheel it makes the stock backspacing around a +30. At least thst is what work wheels told me. I figured I could get away with a +30 in the rear going 11-12 as well.

That was quick! The wheels shipped from Taiwan on Monday and arrived in Virginia on Friday. They were packaged extremely well & no damage to the boxes so UPS handled them carefully. According to my bathroom scale, the fronts weigh 18.6 lbs and the the rears 22.2 lbs. It will be at least another week until I can get the tires mounted.

You did good brother! Are you going to test fit them before you mount the tires?

Consider getting a set of lug guides if you do not already have a set. As recommended by Robert D (cvette98pacecar) and Tom M (Roadster); these are the bomb to protect wheels, calipers, and your back.

I?ve never considered these before but thanks for posting these. Considering my wheel and brake package on the Callaway costs as much as a low mileage C5, I?m going to have to pick up a set of 5.
