Wondering if there are any options out there for 18x12 snowflake style wheels (for 79 TA) I could run with a stock width rear end. Trying to get away from deep dish look. If my calculations are correct, I'm thinking I would need around 8" backspace/+38mm offset. Car will be mini tubbed, ridetech 4 link, etc.

Yep, I looked at those. But I could not find any information on their website regarding the range of offsets they can do in that wheel.

They build the wheel custom to what you need.

Thanks for the reply. I'm aware that they build the wheels custom. I'm running GA3s on my 70 Formula. But there are limits to the range of offsets that vary depending on the type of wheel. As an example, I asked about making GA1R 18X12 -30 (for a different car), but was told too much negative offset for a monoblock. Probably not as limited with a 3 piece wheel like the TA3, but don't know. I'll call and ask, but in the meantime, wondering about other options.

Forgeline told me they can build TA3 in 18x12 with 8" bs, so that's one option.

Take a look at our Snowflake wheel and let us know if we can help: https://bozeforged.com/wheels/classic-series/snowflake-classic/
If we use our standard profile forging, we can get the rear lip down to 3".. (this would be 18x12 with an 8" BS). Also, we have options to cut it on our shallow concave profile to get the lip down even more. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Another brand that has about a dozen variations of the Snowflake is Rotiform.

I run an 18x10 Budniks on the rear of mine (8.5" on the front), 5-3/4" (rear) backspacing. 295 tire. Not tubbed, DSE drop leafs, stock rear axle. When the 295s are gone, I'm going up to try a 300 series.
Found this. Looks like its a 295 tire
