Wide wheel offset
Another lost thread. I don't know if there was an answer posted or not.
This time I'll ask the question right the first time.....
Ok, check out Stuart's rear wheel
....with the very deep offset and the 6" narrowed axle to fit it.
versus, this
Same width wheel on a stock width axle.
Is there any effect, negative or positive, on performance or handling with these two extremes? Is the best deal somewhere in between?True T.

Well, sadly the answer is gone. Does the question make more sense this time?

On the rear,you want to stay close to a zero offset. Stuart's car looks like it has much wider rear wheels.

The biggest negative affect high offest has on the rear of a RWD is the added stress and wear to the axles and wheel bearings.

An interesting comparison.
Both cars look great, but Stuarts rims don't seem to match as well as the blue 69.
The look of the blue one is more balanced to me, more like what you would see on a new high dollar exotic.
My point is if it looks better, costs less in money and time, and has less stress, keep it simple and go with the blue 69.
