People throw tire and wheel sizes around but they usually dont show offset.
Does anyone know where I can find a dependable chart. |

Shocks don't make a car stiff.... Springs do. And the stiction from not TRTproperly installed bushings can really contribute to spring rate
The 7R wheel on the chart is basically perfect offset and the reason a real 7r will fit. Of course a real 7r is 1k per a wheel. The 14 inch windmill that was stock on 6 cars was in my opinion used because it also has perfect offset. It is 2mm different than a 7r and a great fitment. It is also the cheapest fuch you can buy. It is also period correct. It will also give you a smoother ride as most tires available in 14 sizes have a taller sidewall. It also is a "deep" look wheel and cool looking. It does have down sizes. It is the least performance oriented due to the smaller diameter. Smaller width. And lack of tire selection. All of the 5bolt Fuchs and cookie cutters have the same offset and will fit an undamaged stock car |

Shocks don't make a car stiff.... Springs do. And the stiction from not TRTproperly installed bushings can really contribute to spring rate I understand the functional difference between springs and shocks, but a shock with too much compression dampening will make the ride harsh when hitting a bump. One with too little rebound dampening could also be called harsh. Some folks might call a harsh ride "stiff". KYB wouldn't stand for "Kills Your Back" if they did not affect ride.... Your stiction theory sounds good as it addresses what I found "odd" |
