@HellcatMatt how much space are you giving away on the inner side of the tire, against the plastic wheel well liner? Seems we would want that as close as practical.
I was using a 20x10.5 +25 with a 6mm spacer previously. This new setup offers 15.2mm (.59”) more clearance away from the liner.

In case anyone is wondering what this looks like, I’m trying out the Lil devils with WB wheels. It actually looks great in person. The pics don’t do it justice. Once I get them painted and the ZL1flaps on, I’ll post more pics. In the last 2 pics you can see what the difference in poke is with no flares and 18x10 +20 Bravado Tribute and a 305/45/18 ET R vs the flares with 20x11 -2.5 and a 305/35/20 ET SS.

FYI:The 11” WB wheels will have 6.2mm more poke than the aftermarket 11.5” wheels that Phillips recommends. It wasn’t much difference so I wanted to try this first since I haven’t seen anyone do it before. It’s an aggressive look and looks really good in person as I mentioned.

Any concern with the tire hitting the fender lip on larger dips? The wide body fender provides more space for the tire to travel and tuck into the fender. I’d imagine lowering the car is out of the question.

No issues on stock suspension. Another member ran mopar springs with no issues on a similar (slightly more inward) offset and 335’s.

I don’t know if H&R or Eibach would rub, my guess would be yes but @Hunter may be able to chime in on that.

Eibachs with 10.5 aftermarket wheels in rear (which also requires 1/4 spacers), my 16 Challenger HC would rub on roads with dips.
With mopar springs on my 19 Challenger HC, 11.5 triumph wheels (20×30×335 tires) I have no issues.
I do have eibachs ready to install, but as I am using the 30×335 tire and not the 35×315, my hope is that there will be no rub.
