Rear wheel offset
Hey, all! Purchased my SC 430 about 4 weeks ago and just got turned onto this excellent site.
Through the gallery, I've seen some photos of SC430s with terrific aftermarket wheels. At least to me, it's obvious that the the offset of the OEM rear wheels places them too far inside the fender. It appears that this has been nicely addressed by most of you with aftermarket wheels. My first question is whether you've accomplished this by: (1) purchasing wheels with an offset different from OEM; (2) used wheel spacers; or (3) simply used wider wheels/tires. Secondly, has this had any affect on alignment or handling?
While I love the look of many of your customized SCs, I just don't have the $$ at the moment to invest in new wheels and was hoping there was something I could do to modify the offset of my OEM wheels (like wheel spacers) that wouldn't have any adverse affects.
