We have a 4.75 inch bolt circle right?
What is the offset?
I'm trying to figure out other options in 16" besides CCW drag pack for the track. Thanks!

Working on it...
I'm reading a deposition right now. I actually had to stop and work for a while. Go figure.
I'll report back when I find out something.

The "correct" offset is entirely dependant on the wheel's width.
The offset number of a stock 18x9.5 means absolutely nothing if you want a 18x12 (for example).
Post up the actual size, if the car is tubbed or not, and I or someone else can tell you the ideal offset.

Thanks Tom! No tub, wheel needs to be 16" and as wide as I can get it. There seems to be several options with 16 x 12. Is that possible with no tub?

That's cool since they are for the track. I'll see what I can dig up with those measurements.
