so i think max for 8.5's are about +20 for the fronts with under -2 degree camber.
LOL I wasn't referring to you Shoei. I meant people still starting threads, "do these work" "can i fit these" etc.

But yeah 8.5 +20 you can fit them easily if you fenders are rolled already. The more agressive the offset the more likely you will need to remove or cutaway the fender liner.

they are 'sunken in' since they're very conservative offsets. but i can tuck some tire, fairly well, being on 245s/275s w/out rubbing. i didnt want to run stretch.
