Off set.

Post by davenq »

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

The missus old 2007 Fiesta XR4 had +52 offset 17x7's on it from the factory and her current 2013 WRX has +53 17x8's on it from the factory. I haven't seen anything else with that much offset, but I haven't really looked that hard either.

Hi Guys, ive just joined up and hoping someone might be able to help. Im building a GK GSR trackcar, it has modified front brakes, twin pot pbr and floating hubs. All the offset is the same as normal, and its running standard strut setup. I am having issues with fitting larger rims and need to put spacers on, which im trying to use without. my understanding is the standard pepperpot wheels are +15 offset and with a 205 tyre nearly touch anyway. ive currently got 17x7.5 on there...they are offset +20 with a 12mm spacer.... still dont have much clearance at the strut... anyone done similar and have any simple answers please....Thanks.
