Offset Question

[tracknfield423]

So I looked up the offset on the stock Racing Hart rims for the MSP and found that it was 50mm on 215/45/17. I have a set of 17" Konig Reasons but I do not know what the offset on them is. Can anyone help me out?

stock MSP racing hearts are 17x7 +55

ok so 55mm offset on the stock racing harts. I figured out the konig offset is 42mm offset. That seems to be a pretty big difference. Does this mean if I put on the Konig rims the wheel will sit 13mm farther out towards the edge of the fender?

thats exactly what it means. it will still fit, thats only 1/2 of an inch pushed out

I have this offset with 225 wide tires and s-tech springs on my MSP and I had to roll all 4 fenders and change the camber to make them fit. And they still rub with people in the back seat. I'll have to do some more rolling... But with 215 tires you'll probably be fine. Count on at least rolling the fenders though, maybe not if you have stock suspension.

right now i have stock springs on illuminas and the rears rub over bigger bumps, tight turns and if ppl are in the back. the fronts are fine. I did some rolling to the rears but more is needed. the rear springs though are very very soft. i can push on the trunk and the car drops down to tuck the wheel. I even took my 2 12" subs and amp out of the trunk to help out.

My plan is to go back to the illuminas on s-techs, which i previously had with very minor rubbing if any on 215/40. After this set of tires are shot i am going to go 205/35? or 205/40 and put the s-techs back on unless you guys don't think that will work well.

I do not want to change my camber and get uneven tire wear, if i really roll the fenders and flare them out a bit hopefully i'll be good. I only rolled the rears though, what is there to roll on the front? I didn't see a lip there.
