Anyway, I thought you needed the question answered in your original post.

Well, it don't actually. The reason why the offset is high is more traction. More the tire is on the ground more traction. 500whp -5 offset ill blow the tires easily.

Want a aggressive stands, but from what Ravspec said this is the only way I can have a little bit of both on my G.

Wait. What?

Offset will not affect your cars traction. Your contact area with the ground comes from your tires width, not your wheels offset. Offset dictates how far the center of the wheel is from the hub.

You want more traction, run a wider tire. You said you plan on running a 275/35 rear which is the stock tire size. You need to be running a 305 at minimum.

That's the tires I already have.

After speaking to a few people, the tires are stretched in the at photo running -5 offset in the rear.

+22 front, and +38 rear is the best I can get without rubbing or stretching from what Ravspec is claiming.

Your tires are stretched because of putting a 275 on an 11" wheel. Offset has zero to do with that.

Depending on offset you have to camber the rear wheels for fitment which wouldn't make it 100% flush on the road. Would it not? Less tire on the road less traction. correct? The car in the photo is -5 offset and have to stretch the tires to get fitment that close to the finder.

I'm using a 275 on a 10.5, may just keep the wheel width the same, being tires are brand new.
