Jerry's answers are good for offset calculation stuff, or you could just ask the guru of offsets, RT!
I bought my CE28Ns from R & D Motorsports, who were great about it. They used to be a sponsor of this site, but had some kinda falling out with the management.

Originally posted by Tedster Within the last few weeks someone posted a great photo of two different tires, and had drawn red lines across the tread pattern, leaving gaps for the voids. Then he added up the lenghts of the red line segments, and showed what a big difference the pattern can make to the 'rubber to the road' total. I can't find that thread right now...Grrr

Don't forget to consider that one of the lines starts and stops 14 times compared to 16 on the other, so you do need to factor something for additional tread blocks and squirm, and the resultant heating from that sqiurm etc. etc.
I bet a slick with less total line length than either one of those tires in the same compounds would provide better grip.
