I remember a while back you were asking about some Stance wheels, but not the SC-6 that you have, I think they were the ST-1s. You made the right choice Bota, those look awesome (as does the rest of your ride).
And 275s are the cutoff point for the FAT club so you just squeezed in
Gotta shoot your pics over to Rochester, he's been wanting to see these wheels, this might seal the deal

How would that work with the AWD system?

I hate the "miss match" concave look of staggered wheels. Unless I played with the offset to make the front concave match the rear?

Maybe I'm just over-thinking it.

Yeah, I must admit the SC-6 are clean and look real good...even better in person. I feel i made the right choice as well. If Rochester is reads this thread, I endorse these wheels. I'll post some clean shots of the set up soon. Thanks Brad. You, Dagon, Robert, Dustin, Rochester, Zoster and so many more had a big influence with my decision and set up, It's greatly appreciated.

The networking on this forum is top notch and I'm glad to be a part of it. I hope some of my posts are helpful as well...to the newbies of course.

Next stop...my next Mod.

I understand your wanting the dual-concave setup, it's a hot look, just takes a bit more compromise. You could go 9.5" +45 all around w/ 255s, then you could add a small spacer in the back if you weren't quite flush. The main thing was the big wide tires in front on a 10.5" rim. You could also have different offsets front & rear. That was one of the reasons I went w/ my Nutek Bavaria concaves, even though they're staggered the concavity of the spokes are the same

If I could get away with 10+40 offsetx20 in the front and 11+25offsetx20 in rear it would be a god send if I could make a 285/35 fit.

This calculator is more useful,

I prefer the calculator on this site, simple but gives all the info you need
https://www.myg37.com/forums/tire_rim_calculator.php
You can't run 285/35/20s but 285/30/20s will be fine. Your rear offset is way off, you'll be another 20mm further out than you would be w/ a +45.
But if you decide to go staggered it'll be much easier to make things work. My setup is a 245/35/20 on 8.5x20 +40 but could go out a bit so a 9.5" +45 would work. My rear is 295/30/20 on a 10" +45 and it's flush, but a 285/30/20 on a 10.5" +45 would squeeze in.
Run the calculator numbers w/ the offsets compared to your current setup and you'll be able to compare to your G.

Did you see my pic above? I'm running a 285/35-19x10.5 +45 and its flush with the rear fender. A +40 will really poke it out.
