Default Super Low Offsets On This SC.

I like the offsets on this SC.. Anyone know what offsets are the front wheels?

I remember reading it somewhere than the rear was 20x10.5 with a +24 offset !

is it me or do they still look tucked?

I think you can go lower offsets (at least another 10-15mm) for a more flush look.

he said the rear was that, which is easily done with the right camber. I am running 10.5 with a +20 offset and no rubbing at all so i think I could go out a little more if I wanted to without a problem

oh the rear, sorry about that @_@

10.5 +24, i think that's possible, though it looks less aggressive than that

for the record i have 20x9 +29 with 255/35/20 and 20x10.5 +30 with 285/30/20

personally i call this the max with good alignment. i see a gap but i already rub if i hit a dip big enough

well offset doesn't have much to do with disk type, i wish i could go more aggressive but trafficstar doesn't do custom offsets

i i am pretty sure you can do 20x9 +24 and that's probably close to the edge

I installed the brake kit over the weekend. I'll post better pictures once I've got everything sorted out but here's a bit of Derrick's offset work on a ZONE wheel.
