nobody can tell me what the largest offset is that you can put on a set of 18s and have them not interfere?? WOW. very surprising for such a knowledgable group of peeps. Guess i stumped you all.

wow!! i think that looks really good as far as wheel width, im not crazy about the rims but thats impressive .............something to think about. no rubbing or interference at all?? how much of a drop? im not sure about lowering mine, im undecided. Although ive seen many posts by several peeps to get rid of wheel gap. I do agree that slight lowering looks really good but im not going for a slammed look by any means. I think ground clearance is a must and its also good for your fascias. I dont wanna crack all mine up from being to low.

The rims are vintage from his 1970 Z28. Read the info in the 2 links.
