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.

this is 18x12 w5.25bs if that helps any http://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa339/tubbed69/P1000705_zpsc15f142e.jpg (http://s1192.photobucket.com/user/tubbed69/media/P1000705_zpsc15f142e.jpg.html)I can send more if you would like

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.

haven't bought the rear yet, wanting to get the wheels, mock in place with my brakes before I order,!i don't know if I want that deep of a dish on the back , that y I wanted to see a few different ones!

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.
