Oem specs don't matter. What screws anything is up having the front and rear too different from each other (or in the case of a donut/spare having one side too different from the other). As long as the diameter of the front vs rear is within 3% you're fine. Only thing moving away from Oem spec is going to change will be your speedometer.

That's what I was hoping for. I'm getting a BBK.

i can still fit a 6.5 inch lip in that rear thanks to my widebody.

6.5 is going to look pretty damn deep on my reverse lip 18s.

I'm not a fan of stupid large lips, it hides the face, and just does not look right. 6.0" was my limit, so i'm really pushing it with 6.5.

So with that said, i'd rather not even look at he-mans wheels.

If i wanted to play the lip game, I would flare my widebody fenders even more (full metal, and flat part is still there for more pulling), throw a 9" lip and some camber, and kill the game. But like I said, there are certain limits. Not to sound like a dick, but the biggest lip game is ridiculous to me.

Only reason I am getting a 6.5 over 6.0 is because if i got a 6.0 lip, my wheel spec would only be around 18x12.5 -10 and I would barely need to run any camber, and I want some camber so the 6.5 for a 18x13 is the way to go.

Plus who wants to hide a BBK with a retarded big lip?

I'd only do caliper covers if they were pink.

if I had to be honest.

Random question. Is wheel fitment possible to be figured out mathematically/geometrically? Planning on getting wheels soon and I'm just wondering if it could be calculated on paper some how. Maybe I wanna match front an rear camber, who knows.. Just wondering if it was possible or how guys these days do it. Thanks in advance.

yes you can, and once you buy the wheels after calculations, it should sit at or near exactly where you wanted.
