XR6Twannabe Member 21 Member For: 11y 2m 23d Posted 10/05/18 11:40 PM Share Posted 10/05/18 11:40 PM Hi guys,I just purchased a BF II XR6t which came with 20" Simmons and 275/30ZR20 tyres on the rear (245 front).The inside of the rear wheel and tyre seem very close to the chassis/suspension, to the point I can barely fit a finger between it.I'm thinking I need to roll the guards and apply some offset but not sure what the best amount of offset would be for this car and wheel/tyre set up?I was thinking of leaving the front as is, or would it be wise to offset the front also?Lastly - when people say "+22 offset", is this referring to millimetres? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont stress. The higher the number +mm (offset) the closer the wheel sits to the inside of the car. Edited 11/05/18 03:56 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, no benefit other than how it "looks". But comes with a bunch of potentially bad negative side effects like instability, increased wear, illegality etc. People usually use spacers to run wheels that don't actually fit to start with.
