Safe Wheel Offset for Track without spacers
 

Hey guys,

I'm looking to get some wheels that already come with the right amount of offset to fill the fenders. So I wont need spacers. What is a good amount of offset that would be safe for the track or does it matter?

A few forum members have shared with me the specs below. (Those who have helped please feel free to continue to chime in on this thread)

Front 19x9.5 +22
Front Tire 265/30
Rear 19.10.5 +12
Rear Tire 305/30

Stock Sport Suspension

They say no rubbing. Although there might not be any rubbing on the street, what about when the wheel goes deeper into the wheel well on the track. Also, any track concerns with that offset? Are you still able to manage the camber without upper control arms?

I can say from my observation with my car, these offsets will be perfectly flush front and rear and with stock suspension it will not rub, I run 255/40 295/35 on 9.5+22 10.5+22 and they don't rub either on street or track.

I suggest to look for 265/35 front to not face any traction control issues.


You may consider a square setup or less stagger like 265/275 or 275/285 as well, so the car will not understeer excessively on track and the extra front tread will help braking :) this is what I am thinking of doing for my next set of tires.
