Default Offset question

Hi,

What is the most aggressive offset you can fit in the front and the rears of sc430's???
The wheel shops tell me the lowest I can go is ~+35mm for 9.5 to 10.0 width rims.
Is this true?? Or can I even go w/ something like +20mm??

TIA

You can go lower than that. Infact you can go lower than 35mm on the SC400... the SC430 is able to handle much more aggressive offsets than the 400. I bet you could get away with a 10 or 11 with an offset in the low 20's perhaps even lower- perhaps in the teens.

i have seen 9 +23 and 10 +23, i am pretty sure your shop is not giving out the most aggressive numbers

when i am done with all my research and proving them, i will put up guidelines for sc430 as well

but for now, it's more like q&a

That depends on the rim size, too, right?

I'm running 25mm spacers up front with my stock rims and 245/45 tires, and I get the slightest bit of rubbing when the springs bottom out. Dialing back to 20mm would probably be ideal.
