Off set.

Hi this is mainly an "ask" topic.
I am wondering what is the biggest positive offset anyone has seen on a 14" wheel or mag. I know scorps are 5 1/2 JJx14 plus 24
It might seem a weird request but has anyone seen plus 42 or more?. I am thinking FWD stuff but I am still looking.
cheers

Re: Tyres on Scorp .Rims.

Depending on Rim width .. .5 1/2 is approx 138 mm (inside) but 170 outer lip to outer lip.(on these anyway) So an 8 would be 200 internal (guessing 230 lip to lip) if you went zero on an 8 that would make it 115/115 (lip to lip) -10 on an 8 gives you 105/125. Fronts would be a different story. This ...

Re: Tyres on Scorp .Rims.

It says 5 1/2 - JJ x 14 24 on the rim so guessing +24 ?
Oter to outer is 170 ..half that is 85. 85 +24 = 109 which is the measurement from inside lip to mounting surface.
Am not sure but I have a set of black powder coated misti rims that say 6-JJ x 14 18 so guessing these are +18

I scored a set that had 245 60's for the rear These pics show standard height, bolted straight on to rear of the Lancer. the rims are probably too skinny for this width tyre (bagging of sidewall) h...
