Most of the ones I've been involved in are between 5.75" and 6" bs. Of course if your rear end is already narrowed then you need to install it in the car at ride height and do some measuring to determine what to run. If you have not purchased or narrowed your rear end then any of those offsets work fine.

What is your rear end width? That will decide on you back spacing unless your building the rear to fit the wheels. Let me know if we can help on the Forgeline order or anything else you may need.

That's a good call. Start with the wheel look you want, mock them for clearance and order the rear to suit it.
Here is a 19x13 (on the right) with a 4" outer shell.
