I could use some help choosing a offset for wheels
So I have 2 options for wheel sizes. I can either do staggered 16x7 +15 and 16x8 0 or straight 16x8 0 offset all around. I was just curious if i cna even fit a 0 offset 8inch wide wheel up front?

i run 16x7 on my scorp with 205/55/16 tyres on front and they are only 2 mm away from strut. cant remember the off set +45 rings a bell but will check tomorrow cos i have been wondering since i bought them.

Yeah I cant decide. I would like to run the 16x8 0 offset wheels all around, bgut not sure how that will work in the front. Right now im dealing with seized calipers on the stock brakes, and am trinyg to track down starion narrow body stuff.

Re: I could use some help choosing a offset for wheels
Mine are 17*7" +25 with 205/45 tyres.
The last tyres (Michelin Pilot Preceda with about 2mm space between the strut. couldn't run clamp on weights as they hit the strut)
the new tyres (Bridgestone Adrenalin rub against the strut alot. Needing 3mm spacers to clear it.. :x )
show it may come do to tyre choice as well...

8" +0 will fit but you may need thin spacers depending on the tires. Not a problem.
7" +4 wheels fit perfectly. (Rota RB wheels)

hm
im gonna try for the +0 offsets. I'll be using starion front struts. I think they should fit.
