Offsets = WHOA!

So I picked up some SF-Winnings to replace my RT5s. And wow... the offset. Is this going to be waaaaaay too much? I am worried about mounting tires on them just in case I need to return them. All insightful comments appreciated.

Thank goodness! Did you have to roll your fenders? How lowered are you?

That's a sexy a$$ ride btw.

I'm running a fair bit of negative camber for when I take it to the track (-3 degrees rear, -2.5 front). That should help some. I'll post updates after I get tires on them.

The offsets are fine, the car is up in the air thats why they look to stick out further.

those are the best offsets for the winnings.. imo you either go really aggressive or keep your stock rims

Those offsets are common/similar to what other members are running. One thing you must remember is that when you have the car in the air with no load on the suspension, it will look like the wheels stick out too much. Once you put tires on the wheels and lower it to the ground, the suspension will naturally angle in to clear the fenders.

The wheels look good by the way!
