Does offset affect the handling dynamics ? For example if I were to run a +22 front and +54 rear will that handle differently as opposed from a +40/54?
Also assuming that the rim sizes remained the same. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Technically yes. Not enough that you would notice in the real world

You can't fit a +22 up fron BTW (without a widebody)

 

A wider track or lower offset will improve handling. But it does reduce wheel well space and on the S2K can cause rubbing. Like CaptainMike stated without major modification to the car a 22mm offset won't come close to fitting.
