Default Re: Most aggressive Offset with 215/45/17 and lowered?

It's all about how odd (or how much you want to spend to get the desired stance, haha) you want to be, haha.

This year I'm running full coilovers dropped 2.5" in front, 3" in rear. With -2 degrees camber in the rear and -1.5 in the front. I am running a 215/40 on an EAP with a 7mm spacer.

I damn near guarantee the fenders will need to be rolled....

Now that's rolling gangsta son.

and full coiovers with -1.5* up front, and -2* in back?

you know that more in front is better for handling right? and being dropped that much you have actually lose camber up front when turning?

it also depends on the width of the rim that dictates some of the offset youd run. a 7.5 width rim with a 45 offset would run ALMOST the same as a stock 7 inch SVT rim with a 49 offset.

...On the strut side. On the fender side it would sick out more than a 17x7 wheel with a 45mm offset.
