effect of offset

[joneblaze]

Angelo, i had a fantastic set of JDM Enkeis in black once... 15" x 6.5" and +35 offset I believe. THey sat beautifully on the DC4, had a really phat aggressive stance (as others have said, they filled out the guard somewhat), and IMO (after a well tuned wheel alignment) the car handled better than when it was rolling on stock +42 (?) fat fives.

They were great rims too... kinda miss them. Too bad they were apparently buckled then "unuseable" for road driving. Pfft.

Good luck with the new rims mate!

i love the look of wheels with smaller positive offset, they make the car look a tad more agressive and filled out... in theory the wider track should make the car a bit dartier.

i've heard stories about changes in offset stressing out wheel bearings and stuff though... don't know how much truth there is to the rumors though, and maybe a 7mm change isn't enough to do any damage.
