Madhatter 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2014 +35 is too big too really, you run the risk of rubbing on the strut with that high a positive offset, will completely depend on wheel backspace. If you want something 7" wide, just stick to anything +15-+25mm and you wont have to worry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
