Default Re: offsets? (corgiat)

For our cars 38+ and 40+ are ideal.

More info on what exactly it is can be found here: http://www.reliabletool.com/products/offset.htm

brake clearance? what brakes do you have? if they're stock you won't have any issues.

not about looks here gangsta.

14x6 and SOME are supposed to be 14x6.5!!!!! 28 offset, and a OEM quality wheel.

Can't get a better wheel to fit over those Teg brakes than these bad boys for the track.

Throw some 205-50-14's on there

Uhm, in case you guys didnt know... you need to know the offset and the width of the rim to know whether it is going to fit properly.
