Acceptible offset?
Hi guys, what's an acceptible offset range for a "stock" SA suspension? I have a cunning plan to drop in 4x108 hubs so that I may use the plentiful VW/Ford wheels... However, offest seems to be between +40 and +50mm. Standard offset for the SA is +20mm... That would be between 2 and 4 centimeters of meat where meat ought not have been; does anyone have any intel here?
Thanks.
Thanks.

these days there are actually a decent amount of 4x110 wheels around, rota makes the RB, which looks great...

How wide to get the wheel absolutely flush with the fender edge????
Disregard tire size for now, would a 8" wide wheel with 4.75" backspace fit under rolled fenders without sticking out?????

^^^ Im just wondering the same thing..
Ive just installed some zg flares so i can hopefully fit 8" wide tyres in the front but woried that the offset will cause damage to the front bearings etc.
so if i can find a 8" tyre with 4.75" of backspace i will be allright???
