Default How does the rear offset affect tramlining?

I know that stiffer wall and/or wider tires, zero or negative toe, as well as the wrong offset at the front tires will cause the car to tramline more. But can someone tell me how a smaller or bigger offset on the rear tires affect tramlining? Also would it make a difference on a FWD, RWD, or AWD car?

I couldn't see it making much of a measureable difference in any situation.

yeah tire stretch and camber will effect that more than offset ever would. more camber and/or stretch are really the only things that effect that

Thanks for the replies!

I have 17x8 offset 45 at all 4 corners of my AWD. What happens if I use different offsets at the front and back: 45 offset at the front, but with a 35 or 30 at the back?
