Moved to wheels, ppost in the right area


FWD cars tend to have a higher offset, and RWD tend to have a lower offset. Not exactly why...but thats how the world was made lol. Number one thing to look at when buying wheels, the offset!

so does that mean these offset make the top of the wheel bend in, and the bottom of the wheel push out away from the body.

somethin like this //"car"\\ <- those things on the side are the wheels.

if it does personally i think that looks cool

No, thats camber. Usually running lowered springs or coilovers you get negatice camber(Negatice camber is what your talkinga bout). Negative camber isnt good for Daily driving since your tires will wear out unevenly and faster.

Just some lil info
