i just want to know plain and simple why is the exact reason that a 16x8 0 offset wheel will not fit on a da i try to search and all the internet sites say they wont fit but wont tell me why and i see that size on some cars on here thanks in advance guys-da4lyfe fail to the maximum

 

A 16x8 wheel with 0 offset is going to stick beyond the fenders. I'll estimate by about 60 mm in the rear.

 

I've seen a lot of people do things that don't make sense because they just cause problems. Don't do something just because someone else does it. That other person could be clueless.

 

thats very true but i cant find myself not to be drawn in on the whole rediculous offset wheel idea in my opinion it looks nice ... i kinda want to buy them and see what its gonna take i already have rolled fenders so the worst that will happen is ill have to resell the wheels... i have skunk2 pro s coilovers with a camber kit so maybe ill try it cuz the reward if it works is worth it i think

 

Even if that offset fit wheel, it is going to significantly increase the scrub radius of the steering geometry.

 

what do you mean by that?

 

The scrub radius is the distance between the wheel pivot axis and the center of the contact patch. A large scrub radius makes the wheels thrust forward or rearward when turning. Ideally, this is zero.

This actually covers your situation.

You can do it, but tucking might be an issue. You would have to flare your fenders aswell as rolling them... I donno thats my 2¢

 

thanks dogg. that link helped me to understand what the f u were sayin lol cuz i like the sportmax 002 0 offset but they look stupid with the 38 offset do you guys know any other wheels that are like a 25 offset?
