I'm thinking of getting some custom wheels (15"x7") made. What is the proper offset for 7" wheels on four lug car? I have rolled fenders in the rear. Also what is bore diameter and depth for hub centric wheels?

wont pushing out the wheels with spacers to increase track width mess with your scrub radius and bumb steer?
or are other mods. also done at the same time to correct for this?

this would be negligible, i would think -- especially with the track increases these guys are talking about (1/4 to 1/2 inch). stock, the front track is a bit narrower than the rear, IIRC.

Joe.... as long as you're gonna 'make fit' 8 inches, should you step up to wider tires too?

Hey Nathan glad you mentioned that. Have I told you why I'm buying new rims? Because the tires that were on sale 205/50-15 Hoosiers won't fit right on Fuchs. (thanks for the tip again) I posted the link on Autoxforum.com and several guys snatched up some skins too. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

Well they will fit on Fuchs but that's not what I told the Boss. So I fanagled new rims (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif)

Yes the next set will be 225/45-15 Hoosiers of course maybe Avon as I have seen good performance with those tires as well.
