offset has nothing to do w/ brake clearance

the fenders will be rolled.

He's not talking about fender clearance, more like an issue of hitting the coilover. +38 is not the greatest offset for s-chassis cars. If you actually did research you would find most people run in the +20 range and lower. This should help. #/f/chat/129865-whee...re-thread.html

Some Advan AD-07s on the widest size you can all around. I'd go 9j 20-25mm offset with some 255 40 17s.
