Advise on "offset" when selecting new wheels

[jydog]

I would think that offset and the size of the wheel would effect the scrub radius. So more offset (negative offset) with a larger wheel someone could create the same scrub radius as stock. Is this true?

The less amount of offset you have, the more negative scrubes radius your going to get.

Scrubes radius is a key effect on drivability and stress for the axle, hub. In most cases you want it it as negative as you can get. A sports car would be way easier to handle in corners and while drifting.

You put way less amount of stress to the axle and its components. Quigley, as far as I know, refuses garantie if going to positive offset.

There is only one downside, as always: turning radius and the space between the wheel and axle/steering components, that's limited.
