[QUOTE="Catmonkey, post: 16368740, member: 124025"] Front's should be okay. But the difference between 45mm and 50mm is under a 1/4".... and you're going with a wider wheel which will increase the cross section. This memory so it might not be dead on accurate, but it's close. I believe the cross section measurement on the stock SVT PP wheel/tire combination was 10.9". I've had a few different Michelins on 11" wide rims and the cross section always came out to 12.6". To center that in the wheel well, so that the outer profile is in the same position, you need a 64mm offset (50 + ((1.7*25.4)/2)=64). If you gave up a 3/8" of offset to get the tire flush with the fender, you'd take out 10mm, (1/4" would be 6mm) which puts you at 54mm (or 58mm for the 1/4"). It would still be tight, but you'd have clearance. Now the tread width is usually narrower than the cross section, but with a lower car and taller tires, it will still make contact. At least with too much offset, you can run a spacer if you want less offset. With tool little offset, you're pretty much stuck with what you got. [/QUOTE]
