Wheels & Tires
Well after waffling back & forth between about 10 different style wheels & tires, I am about to pull the trigger (I think ). I am proposing to go with 18" x 8" rims in the front (5-5/8" Backspace & 28mm Offset) with 245/35/18 Tires (24.75" Total OD) and 20" x 10" rims in the rear (7" Backspace & 39mm Offset) with 305/35/20 Tires (28.41" Total OD). I really like the rims but because of availability the rears are only available with the 7.00" offsets. So I am a little concerned there. I am not running fenders but I am running the FFR 4-link rear end with the non-adjustable control arms. All of the 33's I have wheel/tire data on are staying under 6.88" BS in the back and I don't really know if there are additional mods required. Would really appreciate any of you seasoned builders chiming in on this one.
Thanks guys!

I picked up my wheels and tires this week, like Santa coming with his hot rod sleigh!
After hurting my brain researching tire and wheel combos i decided on a local company here in Bradenton, OE Wheels, they were great and their prices were awesome.
Rear:
Tires: P315/35-ZR17 Nitto NT555 G2 25.67”
Wheels: 10.5”x17” w/ 5.25” backspace / 27mm offset Mustang Bullit style in chrome (will need 1/2" spacer)
Front:
Tires: P255/40-ZR17 Nitto NT555 G2 25.04”
Wheels: 9”x17” w/ 5.50” backspace / 24mm offset Mustang Bullit style in chrome
I am running front and rear fenders
Misc:
Hub = 70.6mm
Bolt = 5x114.3mm or 5x4.5”
Chrome lug nuts and chrome valve stems (TPMS not required)

UPDATE!!!!!
Rear wheels don't fit, just rubbing on top of wilwood caliper, turns out the inside of 17x10.5 wheel is actually about 15" because the barrel jogs, see pic, not sure what to do now

I was looking at same exact set up for the 35 truck. No problems putting the 315's on 10.5 wheels?
