All I can tell you is that your cars handling will be way off with no staggering.

I am not positive of the offsets. The ones that are closest to the s2ks requirements. JIM?

First off a 40mm offset is going to stick out and rub on the fender. Secondly the car is set up to have a wider rear tire. Handling is optimal when it is kept this way. If you run the same size all the way around on this car you will have more oversteer.

You are going to RUB....LIKE A MO-FO........if you go to a 8" front and a 9" rear..........you really need to have the correct off-sets.

Mid 60's in the rear......and very high 40's to mid 50's in the fronts.......
