I have AA metal flares. I have 16x7's with 911 offset (...020.44 I think) for the front. I need 8's for the rear. Do I stick with the 911 offset or get the 944/951 offset?
Guys in the know, please step up and tell me what offset you're running (part # would be great) + spacer thickness if any for an 8" rim in the rear. Tire sizes would be great too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) We need an all you need to know about rims and tires thread. |

Depending on the size tire, you may be better off with the 944 offset and then making custom spacers to offset the clearance issue.
I have 15's and they only come in the 911 offset. This makes it difficult to get a really wide tire in there. Even a 215 comes right to the flare edge on the outside. Inside has more clearance. There's a recent thread here showing what I did to stuff my tires in with the 911 offset. Every mm counted. |
