Wheel Offset Question?

[Jester]

Hi
Can you help and explain the negatives of having a variation of an offset say of 35 compared to a standard 60 that is currently supplied with the GC
Will it affect the geometry/steering/ride or void warranty.

The standard wheels are very boring. I completely understand about loading so I’m good on that information, just want to know if there is any negative effects to consider after fitting wheels with a different offset.

Thanks in advance.

Het beste,
Ik zou zeker niet gaan voor een ET van 35. Achteraan is dat geen probleem, maar vooraan wel. Ik heb momenteel ET 45 met verlaagde ophanging van 30 mm. Dit levert geen problemen op.

Google “bump steer “ and “ scrub radius”. Then bodywork clearance etc.

Thanks gents for your links but none really cover any possibility of damage or deterioration of parts should the offset ET be significant.

Have been thinking along the lines of the Black Rhino range however their ET is 35 compared to the standard 60.

Thanks again.
