Been there,done that and got the t-shirt.

+44 offset on a 12" wide wheel = 8.25" backspace
+51 offset on a 12" wide wheel = 8.5" backspace

I've got that covered. The tire gets a little close to one area of the liner.

Also, as Pete has pointed out, the passenger side sinks just a bit deeper into the wheel well than the D side. Not symmetrical.

As stated a cast wheel is only going to come in one size opposed to have a 2-3 piece wheels made which has many offset options.

with the right tire my ccw 505 19s are a very good option (hint hint they are for sale)

I went back to the 18 ccw classics as they just work better for me and I like the 335 rears
