Default TOO much offset for rear skinnies??

EDIT: I am only using these on the track..

I know I have seen worst offset on a Civic but IDK if I should run these skinnies..






Worst part is I had these CUSTOM made by Diamond Racing Wheels and this is the best they could do.. I gave them specs on Welds rear skinnies.. IDK.. I dont think they are any worse than these...

I don't see any foreseeable issues except the fact that it might rub while the car is squatting.

My friend has some weld skinnies on the rear of his car, that stuck out a little bit. When he ran it, the car's rear tires looked like they were spinning with massive smoke. Due to it rubbing on the fenders...lol He rolled the fenders and solved that problem.

If anything I think this would keep the *** end more stable on brakin due to the contact of the two wheels being further apart.

IDK to be honest with you I talked to Bill@ Diamond and told him what I wanted and he figured it out.. If you want I can give you the number off from them and Bill can look up my specs.. and u can just tell him u want an exact set...

Ive got a little more clearance than you, but mine dont rub.



You could also consider a slight amount of negative camber.

What size tire is that? I also was told from a buddy of mine that Diamond only does 4 inch width...I think the Lenso is 3 or 3 1/2.

Actually Diamond will only do as skinny as 4.5".. The tire is a 4.5"x15"
Lensos are 3.5"

If You are up to sharing, How much did they cost you? Skinnines seems so expensive for what they are, and everyone wants to know a beater alternative! I have looked into the custom throught cirlce/diamond but never really quoted them.


Thanks
