[QUOTE="mgerman93, post: 11274629, member: 13017"] The best offset will depend on what you are trying to do. For example, I wanted the most tire under the car WITHOUT any mods to the body like rolling the lips, cutting, or pounding on sheet metal. If your car is stock, a weld 15x8 draglite or prostar with 5.5" backspace will work best. This will allow a 26x10.5" et street (8" tread) or 26x8.5" et drag (8" tread) to bolt on without any issues. I wanted more than 8" of tread on the ground, so here is how to do it without any body mods. The same 15x8" weld with 5.5" backspacing is used. Swap the long factory cobra axles with a standard mustang length set of axles, and pick up a set of rear brake brackets from north cobras. It is a simple bolt on affair, and allows a 26x10" et drag (10" tread), 27x10.5" QTP (9" tread), 27x9" M&H racemaster slick (9 3/4" tread), or 28x9" et drag (8.6" tread) to fit without any issues.
