Just got my Maelstrom wheels!!

Unhingd is this correct? I used the width offset calculator. My Gyrodyne in the rear were 10.5x20 ET38 wrapped on 295/30/20, now I have the Maelstroms which I believe are 11x20 ET54 wrapped on 305/30/20. According to the calculator.
Inner Clearance: 22.35mm less
Outer Position: retract by 9.65mm
Diameter difference: 0.24" (0.87%)
Does this makes sense? The wheels are looking a bit more tucked in. I don't like it. Trying to determine which size spacers to go with.

Hi zmoothg,
I have a V8 R coupe as well and have just tried fitting a set of SVR maelstroms that I bought (the stock rims were gyrodynes).
I'm facing the same challenge that you describe above - the car sits well at the front but the rears are too tucked in due to the different offset. Did you end up fitting a set of spacers?
Am trying to work out the right thickness spacer in order to get the outer edge of the tyre back to the position it is in with the stock gyrodynes (I'm not too worried about going beyond this). According to the calculation you posted above, I guess the spacer should be 10mm, but visually it looks like the retraction might be more than this.
Really interested to hear what you ended up doing, and your experience of the process.
Thanks a lot,
JP

Hi Unhingd,
Rim width is 11.0", and they are fit with 305/30/20 P-zero's.
As for the offset, I couldn't see this written anywhere on the inner drum of the rim and can't find the spec online, so will try and measure it tomorrow.
zmoothg posted below that the Malestroms are ET54 (vs ET38 on the gyrodynes), but I haven't measured/checked mine yet.
Thanks,

I bought my spacers from motorsports. If I remember correctly. I went with 10mm spacers all around and it ended being up perfect for me. You might be able to squeeze out a few more mm in the rear, but the 10mm worked nicely. I had to cut about 3mm off each stud with a dremel. That took forever.

I'm just wondering why the Maelstrom has such a large offset (54mm) compared with other OEM wheels (38mm) even with the wider wheels. That should only account for a 6mm difference, not 16mm. Is it possible that the SVR rear axle is wider than the R hub-to-hub?

There is no doubt that 28mm is the correct offset for 11" wheels as that will put the wheel face in the same location as an OEM rear wheel with a 16mm spacer.
