Spyathe Donating Members 872 Member For: 11y 3m 10d Gender: Male Posted 05/04/14 10:36 AM Share Posted 05/04/14 10:36 AM Nope, better offset allows better width which allows wider tyres, you can still fit a 265 on a 17x8 +35 But a 17x9.5 +20 will allow the tyre to perform at its peak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would they not run 10" rims... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're running a small aspect ratio then it's pointless, a larger ratio will allow more flex in the sidewall and allow better traction...if it's on a wheel wide enough so that the contact patch is not being compromised Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
