Spoke with CCW today. Going to attempt to do a 18x12.5 with 345s and IRS. Wish me luck.

The upper IRS bracket will kill you. There is a way to modify the IRS subframe and gain a good 1/2"-1" but it involves dropping the whole thing and making new mounts. Let me know if you're interested and I'll try to dig up some pictures.

If you could that would be awesome. There's a guy on SVTP who has 18x13s with factory IRS, but I asked him what backspace and offset he is using, and I havn't heard anything back. Boss 32V (the red car pictured on page 1) uses a 18x12.5 with 8.3" backspace, but he has a SRA.

No problem, I know I saved pics of the setup, I just need to sift through all of my mustang folders, lol. I'll post them up here.

That would be awesome. Last night I was comparing section widths, and the 345/30/18 G-Force tire is only like .20 wider than the 335/35/17 Hoosier radial. If I had a SRA this would be a cakewalk, but I want to try to keep the IRS.

Well I'm still IRS and I'm running the 335s...

17x10.5 replicas
1/2" Baer spacers
3" ARP wheel studs
Rolled and pulled (3/8" out) fenders
Button head subframe bolt

I'm pretty much flush with the fender up top and I'm just BARELY rubbing the lettering off the tire on the inner fender well...

Same rear wheels, same setup (little further out on the pull), on my other car...

That looks really good! How was the fender "pulled"? All hammer/dolly work?

The Eastwood fender roller can be positioned in a way so that when it's ran across the lip, its actually kicks the lip out. The paint on the inside of the fender is damaged but I didn't care all that much, plan on repainting the whole thing. I'll probably get a little more out of it with the hammer/dolly before paint
