Default 30+ offset for track use?

https://honda-tech.com/forums/road-racing-autocross-time-attack-19/30-offset-dc2-3099627/

sorry for linking this thread to a one in the road race forum.

I just wanna know if 30+ offset 15x7 will mess up handling characteristics and driveability on the track? they stick out about 10mm from the fender.

i already know that wheel bearing and knuckles will have more stress and also require stiffer suspension.

Should help with the wider stance in the corners. I dont see how a 15x7 +30 sticks out from the fenders by 10mm. What vehicle??? +30 is so close to OEM (+40 to +36)offsets that you shouldn't have to worry about added stress on bearings and knuckles. IMO

You are not going to have any problems unless the tire doesn't tuck into the fender going around a corner. You may need to run more negative camber if that becomes an issue. Trust me you will be fine. I wish I had pictures of some of the stuff I've seen before. Just imagine 235/40-17 on a 17x8 wheel on your car. I've done it before and I know plenty of people running the same setup on their racecars. No issues.
