Message Lots of detail work to get them to fit.....

The effective offset I've gotten the wheels to be in the front are in the mid +20ish range depending on wheel/tire used. I'm hurting my scrub radius but I think I'm still getting an overall positive effect with these wider tires given my personal requirements in driving.

Camber, ride height and overal tire diameter play a big role in what you can or can not fit/rub. Spring rates and roll control factors in heavily too.

For a street car I do not recommend this, wide front tires kick up a lot of rocks along the side of the car.

For most people I still don't recommend running this wide in front. Most experienced track drivers can't handle a car with this much neutral turn in on a big road course at mid/high speed (mid corner and corner exit is another story, the car still needs work on tuning bars/dampers to do what I want). If you are an experience drifter then yes, but you probably own a 240sx anyway, lol.....

On an autox, its no big deal since most will probably just spin.... Running 285ish tires on front leaves very little extra width you can put in the rear, so unless you've become a professional grade driver/awesome drifter, stay cautious and somewhat staggered to err with more understeer.

Cheers,
