Wheel Offset Discussion Thread... How far can we go?

nixxer · 11-07-2009, 11:26 AM

I don't really understand what these offsets do. My basic understanding is the higher the +##, the farther the rim sticks out from the hub? I see these stock offset numbers, and these other numbers, and really am not able to put it together all too well. I dislike rolled fenders, I despise negative camber and I don't care much for rubber band looking tires or stretching them to the point where a 45 tire looks like a 25.

So, If i were interested in Forgestar F14's, what sizes should I look at since they have a certain range of max/min offsets available, assuming a slight drop on coil overs and camber adjustments/parts to zero them out? Ideally I would like 275 front and 305 rear. Is this a pipe dream? I little help would be appreciated. As a side question, how deep would the concave be? DDM's don't look too deep, but it could be the angles.

Thanks in advance.
