my tires rub my fenders with my lancer barely lowered. Even if i got smaller tires, i still wouldn't be able to lower it that much. I don't want to completely slam it but i want it fairly low. the offset is 38 mm. So i thought well i just need some w/ an offset of maybe 36 or however low it goes, but then someone told me that you want a greater amount of offset to make sure the rims sit in farther. I'm not sure if anyone is understanding what i'm saying, but please explain to me what to do. Anyone else out there w/ the same prob? Thanks

 

What size are they?

 

the numerically lower the offset, the farther out the wheels will stick. Roll the fenders and rip out the platic liners...that should help.

 

they are 17's, so if i sold them i should get some w/ an offset of like 45 if i can, thanks

 

and how do i roll the fenders? can this be done by urself, because i went to a body shop and they told me they don't do stuff like that

 

The recommended offset for U.S. Lancers is 40-45 preferrebly in the 42-45 mm range. I also thought about getting the RS-6's but chose not to because of the offset being 38. You need to go to America Tire Discount's website. They can give you proper offset fitting for any vehicle.

 

ok, thanks, thats where i bought them and now i'm pissed because the RS6's aren't listed like u said for the lancer, i wish they would have told me this when they put them on. Now i'm going to have to go back and make them trade me wheels
