Going aggressive with front offsets

SE · 08-21-2010, 05:38 PM

Keep in mind that Danny is running a +22 offset in the front with his 255. A 245 front on +12 is about the same. Also tire sidewalls can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, so a 245 from one tire manufacturer could be slightly thicker than another.

Rubbing is also the result of being to low- if it's rubbing on the top of the fender liner a thinner tire width isn't going to save you.

OP I would suggest that if you don't want to run more aggressive camber settings than stock to just run a small spacer, but the fact is most people on here running wider wheel/tire specs or more aggressive sizing are probably rubbing one way or another.

There's a difference between it being too severe to daily drive comfortably to just rubbing on your fender plastics under full compression/hard turning.
