Thanks for all the help!
pushing the limits when it comes to fender and fender liner, Both the PF01 and NT03 have no issues clearing the sport brakes. yeah you want the offset up front between et28 and et30 for 18x10.5

He had no choice but to use a spacer to clear the brakes which pushed it even farther out of the fender.
+45 prolly didnt clear the suspension arm either

man, this sucks....unfortunately rims are not something I can go buy and easily return if it doesn't fit.

This set for me will be dedicated track wheels so I hope to find something in the 21-22lb Max range.

I'm not sure if I neccessary have to have 285 all around on a 10.5 width.

Perhaps I could go Stagger again with 18x9.5 and 18x10.5 like a lot of people are doing.
If i'm lucky I could do 18x10 and 18x10.5

just wondering why your so hesitant to run 10.5/285 sqaure? id eevn run 9.5 sqaure long berfore stagger. makes tire selection easier and FR cars tend to do well on sqaure setup. i tested 9.5/10. 275/295 before and rears were having trouble coming up to temp, and the fronts could use more heat capacity, thats why i went 10.5/285 all around. Martin has done the same and loves it. the termal behavior of those sizes for the tires is great
