I *think* I've got 25m offset front and rear. it is equal offset front and rear. I went to a local wheel guy for this reason - i didnt trust myself to figure it out.

but it does work - and I can do a full tire rotation.

i was told with mag ride you may need spacers in front - to fit the shocks. apparently these shocks stick out some how.

MRC dampers having a bigger body diameter would not surprise me at all.

Thanks for the input, I'll just have to put em on and see what happens. I know the rears won't, they're wrapped in 315, which was damn close on the 5th gen

Okay, here is my experience. I have MRC. I bought 4 factory black 5 spoke wheels, the stock Gen 6 wheels. I put 285/35s on them and they contacted the spring perch in the front. I ordered 15mm "adapters" (they bolt to the studs and then have new studs attached, some stud cutting required) and now the wheel and tire clears without any rubbing and sits flush with the fender. I will be ordering rears because the car looks funny without. I have no fear running adapters on the track. Spacers are scary because they reduce the stud length.
