its only a 9inch wide setup, but no grinding needed.

What are offset struts? Do you mean the struts with little or flat profile at upper camber bolt, like the ZL1 1LE Multimatic suspension?

It is still amazing that you can fit an 18x11" wheel with +23mm offset and with that much of camber.

For the reference, I wasn't able to fit 18x10.5" with +14mm effective offset (+22mm with 8mm spacer) and with -3.0 camber and grinding on the strut tabs. It was still slightly rubbing and I didn't feel like running 8mm spacers even with the longer wheel studs.

I seriously consider getting some custom forged wheels but am not sure if 18x11" is possible even with say +8mm offset

The offset strut setup has longer ears so the strut body is further away from the upright and tire, the Multimatic setup is not offset. MCS are the only ones making offset struts for the car at the moment, picture attached.

I got one close-up shot, and one at distance. heh
If you add the Anderson composite front fenders could you fit the 315 without additional work needed? Not sure if you know. I believe the fenders add an inch to either side but could be wrong.

Do you have any issues with the tires hitting the top edges of the fenders?

Any issues with rubbing or camber limits? Are you using spacers in front?

Oooh yea forgot that part.... you definitely to grind the strut and use spacers for this setup. I've ground a good bit off the strut and am running 12mm spacer up front (apx -2.7 camber).

No issues with tires hitting the fenders but oddly only my left side tire rubs a tinny but on the bottom of the strut plate (part that holds the spring)
