Need help here. My wheels are rubbing under load and especially when turning under laod. I am pretty sure my offset is +60. If I get a wheel with a lower offset, say +45, will that bring the wheel closer or further away from the axle?

They only make this rim in 18 inch, so I cannot go to a smaller diameter and 8.5 is the slimmest width they make, so offset is my only hope.

Less positive offset moves the wheel farther from the axle. More positive offsets bring the wheels closer.

Stock AP1 offsets are +55F and +65R. The rim sizes are 6.5x16F and 7.5x16R.

So, I need to go with a higher number offset to tuck the wheels further into the wheel wells. Crap, I think this is the highest they make. Might have to go back to the drawing board. I could pull out the wheel well liners, but that would let every pubble dent the actual fender.

Nice Skip! But what are you going to do with the second HD-DVD player?

I picked up a couple Xbox games for myself ($14.99) and All 5 seasons of 24 for my folks for Christmas. They got hooked on the show last season but don't know any of the back story.
