Is the stock offset not 50 (as opposed to 38)?

Stock MCS offset is 48-50mm on all corners on a 7inch width wheel using
205 tires...(17x7)....

How much tramlining are you getting right now? any torque steer?

D6... Setup looks real good.
Also, bearings may go quicker than with stock. But after a 100k, who cares.

245 worth exploring for 9" wheel?

I'm not too keen on the style of wheels in this topic, nor do I like the stretched look, but it seems that 245/35 x 17 would have a total height similar to the 215/45 Blizzaks I ran during the winter. The issues would be rub and offset.

What are the max tire widths that can be fit inside the front and rear wheel wells and at what offsets?
