How come not many people run a +25mm offset. Do ya'll think the +30mm looks better or something???

The +25 will actually give you more of a concave look and allow you to run a 3mm spacer up front instead of a 5mm or 8mm but will stick out. I mean after all offset is the distance from the center of the rim. So the lower the offset, the more your wheels will stick out. I will post a pic of an EVO with +25 P45Rs here in a sec so you can see what I mean...

see how the back wheels stick out like that? In order to tuck those under the fenders you need to add a lot of negative camber. Good for handling, really bad for tire wear. Now I know most ppl know this but our friend here is looking for some knowledge.

But the camber wouldnt be as different with a +30mm offset would it? so it wouldnt wear out tires quite as fast as with the 25mm offsets. right???

Bee *R is good. But the offset are only +38 and +25,and the only color are white, chrome, bronze and silver.

I'm happy with my Rotas.

Yes, you could get away with less negative camber with a higher offset like +30.
