I like the +36 on the back. Always thought the +43 was conservative.

Imho 11 on the back and 10.5in the front is not square.
You potentially change the characteristics of the tire using different wheels.
Better be running some PPF and rock guards that's for sure! Definitely not a true 'square' set up as the wheels are different, but I didn't feel comfortable finding a balance between the front and the rear that would allow an identical wheel, so the next best thing was to fit a 305 up front using whatever means necessary. This will at least allow the tires themselves to be swapped around, though I doubt I will be doing that often. The main goal here for me was not necessarily square, but to get more tire up front.

I'd be interested to see what the front wheels look like mounted on the rears. I'm kicking around getting set of 19 x 10.5 square. Apex offers 22ET and MRR obviously offers 14ET.

Looks like an excellent fit. Congrats Sean!
Others: note Sean pushed out the R offset to maintain F to R track width balance as close to stock as possible (based on wider F wheel).
I think that's were some folks get messed up not paying attention to this detail. What alignment specs are you at Sean? Lookig fwd to your on track reports!

Even so, for a 10.5 +14 front wheel, the poke is a lot less than I thought it would have been. Some of you I'm sure will complain () but poke is a non-issue on the track and looks come second. I was jumping around with different wheel and tire ideas and was skeptical at first of running a square tire, but ultimately after my own testing on track I felt a square setup would be superior to a staggered setup. Technically this is not a true square set up as the wheels are different, but my main goal was to get more tire up front. If needed, I will at least be able to swap around tires at my local tire shop. I have yet to drive it on track, so this may or may not be the answer. For those curious, I came to these offsets by way of trying to maintain the same, oem, inner strut clearance on the front. I decided to drop the rear to +36 to try and maintain some semblance of the stock track width. Special thanks to MRR wheels and PK Auto Design for being able to quickly make the wheel to my exact specs. Anyhow, here ya go.






Sean, Honestly all I can say is Wow,I was doing the math ever since you did the order and I could not picture how it would fit, Straight up im taking my hat off for you much respect. this set up was not a sponsorship and it was absolutely nothing for marketing it was your hard earned money and your specified specs and we definitely thank you for letting MRR Wheels be part of your project, damn great job !!

send us some more pics when ever you get a chance and keep us posted on your track experience.

Yup, all of our Flowforged wheels are cut to clients specified specs or as required by vehicle, we can do aggressive fitments, or conservative, basically which ever you need for your project.
we complete all of our custom work with in 5-7 days max.

I think it looks great! My only complaint is 4x4 stance.

Never too late to make it a "sponsorship deal". The guy figured out proper offsets for ya "pros" here, proved a concept and now you'll sell a ton of them. Just sayin....

Is it true that you advise to use no more than 110 lb/ft torque for the lug nuts?

Thanks in advance

Looks fantastic. +36 on the rear puts the outside edge of the rim in exactly the same spot as a 10" wide with +25. It looks like a race car.....

You've helped me make up my mind!
