Default why is the sky orange at sunset, and oh yeah will 32 offset rub?

The sky is orange/red during sunset due to light scatering through the atmosphere due to the angle of the sun...

Now for the type R realated question:
So my question is will the 16x7, 5 lug GAB Sports wheels with 32 offset and 205/45 ZR16 tires rub? As of now I a have the stock suspension , if the car suspension were to be messed with how low can the car go with out any rubbing.

I have searched multiple threads and I still don't have a definitive answer. Here are a couple of the threads that I researched:

and many more...

32+ offset will be fine as long you dont have a big break upgrade and dont plan on doing one.

your only problem will be tires if you plan on going lower than factory you will need to invest into 40 series tires and you can tuck these if wanted I will post pics of a itr on the gab sports whish you speak of.

hey doesn't a +32 move the wheel out, compared to say a +40? isn't +32 good enough for a big brake kit? or do you have to move it out even more?

32 offset will fit but if your car was slammed, you would probably get some 40 series tires to prevent it from rubbing the fenders.

I think 32+ offset "looks" a little better because you actually get a little bit of lip out of the wheel, where with a 45+ offset your wheels are as flat as a 9 year old.

the only downside is no option to upgrade the brakes but the ITR system is great.

brake clearance is a function of wheel design as much as it is of offset.....

that being said, a +32 offset will give you a wider track.

i'm the owner of that itr...it depends how low you are and how stiff your suspension is...the 32+ offset sits flush
