Default running 38 and 42 offset. will it be a problem?

if i run one 42mm offset wheel and three 38mm offset wheels on my car, will this cause a problem?

also/or

run two 42mm on one side of the car and run 38mm on the other side of the car,

how will these options work/not work out?

why do i ask a weird question? i made a huge dent on one of my wheels and i found a guy who can get wheels real cheap. problem is i don't want to spend more money than necessary. don't we all...anyways, imput is appreciated.

if you must do this, you should keep the keep each end (fr/rr) the same. not sure how you would decide what goes in fr or rr.

i guess it'll be 42's in the front and the 38's in the rear...not 38's to the left and 42's in the right...haha..

This is how IT SHOULD BE DONE if you have rims with different offset

If you have ET38 and ET42, this is how it should be

ET42 - both must be in the front
ET38 - both must be in the rear

Don't ever put one offset to the left side off the car and the other offset to the other side...

Always use rear-front combination...

And always use 2+2 pattern... 2x ETXX and 2x ETYY
