I read this on a site about wheels:

 

Negative Offset wheels have their mounting face toward the rear of the wheel - powerful rear-wheel drive cars often have wheels with negative offset.

 

 

So does that actually mean it would be better for a zed to have negative offset? Does it really matter in terms of performance?

 

Cheers

 

Al

nothing to do with performance, they say for powerful rear drive cars as they tend to have huge wheels on!

Offset for the 300zx is high 30's at the rear, even into the 40's for wide rims (I run +48 offset on a 10" rim)

 

negative offset will push the wheel outside of the arches so will be suitable for those with wide arch kits

righteyo thanks for clearing that up.
