you probably won't like 30mm offset in front - stock is 50mm - the car will be twitchy and sensitive to uneven (rutted) pavement - the centerline of each wheel will be 20mm (over 3/4") farther outboard than stock - negative camber will increase and tires will wear unevenly - go to the LSOC site and read Iain's rantings on offset - -
