Which offset is best for gc? +35, +42 or +48?

JDM_STYLE · #**1433** 09-08-2010, 12:42 AM

I'm pretty sure +48 would be closest to the stock offset Damo.

Let me check what offset mine are... They are on the limit of hella phulleh siqz flush.

Edit.

Mine are +42 it seems. I would go with whatever size brings them closer in than that. (I forget which way offset works...)

The lower the + offset number, the further the outer edge of the tyre is from the hub. Std Subaru offsets are from +52 to +55 in general and it's best for handling and for stopping the tyre rubbing on the guard lip to stay reasonably close to those figures. Generally anything from +45 up is OK and anything from +40 down isn't recommended.

Thanks Steve,

So just to check that I understand, since +42 only just fits, +48 would sit inside the guards better?

yeah they would sit inside the guards more.
to each their own, i reckon +42 at a minimum with a little guard rolling thankyou

Steve why do u say it would handle worse with a lower offset?? if it dosent rub then the wider stance will give u better control i would of thought??

Or are u saying the wider away from the hub the more flex in the hub??
