How little offset can I really go before it becomes an issue?
I'm looking at getting some new wheels for my 10' lancer. I think it should also be mentioned I have some Megan racing street coilovers, at a 1.5 inch drop in the front, and 1 inch in the back.
I've looked through the threads a bit and haven't really seen many people go below like a 40 because of rubbing issues etc, however I know another lancer owner in town that is running RPF1's (18x8.5) at a +35 offset and he say's he doesn't have much trouble with rubbing, and he is riding static stanced, so he is much lower than I am.
I'm wondering if you can go to an even lower offset than that, or if that's just too much for the car, and you'll get huge rubbing issues.
For example, there is a set of Meister S1R 18x8.5 with a +25 offset in my city from a friend at a really good price I've been looking at, but am unsure because someone told me there is no way they will fit. I'm wondering if they will, or if +35 offset is pretty much already maxed out.
I'm a little stuck here. It's a price I really can't turn down, but I don't know if ill even be able to resell them since my city is pretty devoid of car enthusiasts. I just want to like triple check from a bunch of different sources before I pull the plug.
