Ahh I see what what you mean. It's just the position of the "barrel" of the rim that changes....so basically, if I'm picturing it right, having a lower offset would then give more suspension clearance? As the barrel of the rim is positioned outward more? Or is that a rookie mistake? lol
Your car's actually the inspiration for going with GTCs, looks bloody mint....don't worry, will be going a different colour
Yeh the reason I used those offsets was because I thought I needed to....The next offset down is 8.5 +17, extra 13mm of dish (total 55mm) . The rears in B disk 9.5+24 already give 73mm of lip, which is plenty to keep me happy lol. Next one up is 9.5+12 and 86mm...
Yeh that's what I thought too. The only reason I posted this was on the advice of Jesse. He got a reply back from RAYS stating that the GT-C Face 1 19x8.5J+28 (B disk) won't clear my brakes. I think this may be more to do with the spoke design (Face 1 is flat spokes, Face 2 is concave) and the fact that it was B disk, or they could've just made a calculation mistake, I don't know. Either way, rather get a few opinions first before blowing all that cash money.
Oh and thanks for the info guys, much appreciated
