Question about wheels Steeda say 10” wide fit square set up and American Muscle says 10” rear only.

[mavisky]

Why would you think it was necessary?

Because when running square wheels, many of us run an 11" square setup vs a 10" square setup and doing so drastically reduces the inside clearance to the point that you have to run much higher offset (56mm vs 35mm) to clear the rear shocks. This offset change then alters the front clearances causing us to have to also run a 25MM front spacer to get the clearance back up front.

Comparison of moving from a 10" +35 to an 11" +56 offset. Moving to the 11" costs you over an inch and a quarter of inner clearance at the rear.

Why would you think it was necessary?

I don't know anyone, apart from people on this forum, with a 35 mm offset in the rear. In my case, its 56. I have never seen the actual gap in the rear of the car in a photo.

Not saying it's not possible, the math just doesn't add up in my head:
On my car. 56 mm offset. 11.5" rim. I have to zip tie the brake lines back so they don't touch the tire (Partially a J&M issue) There is about a fingers width between my wheel and the shock. Outside of wheel is flush.

Now, 40 mm offset on a 10" rim. The center of the wheel sits ~.7" closer in on the car than my wheel does. But the 10" wheel is 1.5" narrower than mine. So .75" on the inside of the wheel, and .75" on the outside of the wheel. In total, I've lost .7" due to the 40 mm offset, and I've also lost .75" of wheel width just on the outside of the wheel. So wouldn't the wheel sit a full 1.5" further in on the car? IE, not be close to flush at all?

Or is the wheel width measured from the face of the wheel?

There is a reason I called Apex when I ordered my wheels, and then had them send me photos LOL

Most of the difference goes into the suspension. The difference between 10" ET40 and 11.5" ET56 towards the fender is 3mm.

So I like the Steeda Trident wheels 19” by 10” for square set up. What is the deal will they fit I am new to this aftermarket wheel stuff. I was thinking 275 or 285 all around. Any information would be helpful. I don’t want to order and make a mistake with fitment.

It depends on the offset.
My Mach1 Stock
R 19x10 ET 52.5
F 19x9.5 ET 40
Winters
SVE S350 19x10 +40 275/40R19
Fit no issue.

You are correct. But OP is running 10et40. Therefore no spacers or extended studs needed.

Correct. I was saying that those of us on 11" or larger square wheels do while those on 10" or smaller square don't. I think Wilto was suprised it could be done as the 10" square setup isn't a common setup on the track focused sub-forums that we frequent.

@WltoTX the 10” ET35 is only 2mm farther outboard than a 11.5” ET56. Fits just inside the fender with a 285 street tire and ~2 deg rear camber.

Size: 19x10 Finish: Platinum (looks brighter in the sunlight, darker in the evening) PCD: 5x4.5 (114.3mm) Offset / Backspace: +35mm. With 305/30/19's squared! Fit PERFECT!

AmericanMuscle wheels are garbage, either go with Steeda or with LMR SVE wheels. The reason why the AmericanMuscle wheels are rear only is the +48mm offset. Go with 19X10 ET35 285/35/19
