You get more grip and track but you are also pushing more weight out further past the hubs.

Tino, mainly with respect to changes in toe when turning and more tram lining on "normal" roads...hub flex isn't that much of an issue. What you are doing with excess low offset is changing the pivot points with respect to top of strut/bottom of strut/centre of wheel which will affect turning dynamics to differing degrees.
Then of course then there are the other associated issues like tyre rubbing and having to pull excess neg camber and/or roll guards to fix and of course the legality (or lack thereof) of excessive track increases.
I guess one could also argue that it could place extra strain on driveline components.
But there is no doubt that a filled guard looks better.

hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows of anywork shops nor that will remove tyers from the rims,paint them and then rebalance when there put back on anyone know of anywhere it can all be done at the same spot?

Ahhh you need somewhere like Robbo's tyres and painting servicez 'R' us.com



No. Such a place doesn't exist.
Search rim painting or powdercoating, and then go to your local tyre shop for tyre fitting/rim balancing (I recommend wheels world in Ossy Park).

Edit: In saying that, I'm not 100% sure, but Alliance rim repairs may have the facilities to do the whole lot for you.

Mine were +48 on my GD Wagon. I sold them to a guy with a GC and as far as i know they fit with no problems.

Scott and the guys at Tech 9 will do this for a cost... But it takes a few days, and they do outsource the painting/powdercoating as far as I'm aware!

Highly recommend though!

Hey guys, what do you think is the best offset for a lowered 2003 gd wagon? Looking at some new rims in the near future

depends how wide the rims are

8" wide +38 to +42
anything wider go +42 to +45

offset is a personal choice. i would go a lot more aggressive
go have a chat with a reputable rim place, maybe try a set on

yeah will be going for 8" wide.. i prefer much more aggressive offset but have no idea for subaru's. Will be buying through the internet (so much cheaper) so feel a bit rude going to a wheel shop and asking to try a set on (wheels world have been good in the past but rather not disrespect their famiry)
