Me personally i try to stay way from them. Would rather run the proper offset wheel.
Oh I dont.. well I had no plans to, with the con of blowing out my wheel bearings ill stick to my +35. I thought what you guys were saying is that even with the +35 the wheel will still look sunk in.. and that a spacer would help that and give me a wider stance. I already have extended studs all around..

Hope you get it to where you like it CWB..

I dont think so cause the center of the wheel is still where it should be against the hub. With a spacer your moving the whole wheel outward

With low offset wheels they sit farther out and change the SAI angle (i think thats the angle they call it). Almost the same as using a spacer. Basically it changes where the tire contacts the road in relation to the suspension geometry.

I hope I put that right....

Posting from my EF driver seat.

Replaced the main relay and have fuel. Now no spark. But my S300 isnt linking to my laptop either.

I really hope I can get my motor starter today.

You're pretty much correct, but the term you were looking for was scrub radius. The scrub radius is the distance between where the steering axis would intersect the ground and the centre of the tyre contact patch. Changing wheel offset changes this radius and can have a fairly big effect on steering feel and the amount of kickback.

Chemist, isthat yours?

Slavers, to a minimal amount like you want c-dub, don't really hurt bearings much
Road-course work hurts bearings, and I do that along with using spacers.
