i was wondering what is the best offset to use on a 2wd saff its lowered 35mm and i want to put 17" rims on ????????????????


will it cause me any problems ????????????

 

Welcome to the forum

Afraid I haven't got any advice except I think you're gonna need to roll your arches if it's been lowered AND you're sticking 17's on...but I have been known to be wrong

Hope someone else can throw some light on it for you

 

Ive just lowered my car by 30mm......



No problems with clearance whatsoever. The front looked a bit close to start with but is fine. The rear has no problems at all. I'll try to find out the offset for you soon, but tbh theres a petty wide margin of what will fit.

 

Stay with standard if you can. 40mm. Use a rim width of 7,5-8,0", and 215/40 tyres, and you don,t get you geometry wrong!

 

Personally i would not have a Cosworth that low. 25mm is low enough. ET33 or ET35 will be fine on your car, just make sure your front arches are rolled.

 

its not a cossie its a standard lx saff but im going to be running 215/40 /17 tyres was just wondering if they will catch and whats the best drop to go for

the wheels im putting on are et38 is that going to cause a problem????

 

That will be great, and you will clear your arches too, if you don,t lowering it too much! be sure you have good dampers!

 

I got 17"s and Koni dampers, the damn tyres hit the spring platform of the shock under heavy cornering, very annoying! Anyone know why this would be??

 

What profile is the tyres, and what offset on the rims?
