just to keep things in the same thread for the same topic, what is usually the lowest offset one can have with a spring and shock setup while using 17" rims? i've been messing with the online offset calculators and its seems that i need to find out how much leeway their is with between the rim and shock/spring setup. I ask this question as I have been tossing around the idea of getting my current rims widened and if i went that route, i would have to let them know what i would want my effective offset to be. any suggestions for say if i wanted to widen it from 7 to 9 inches up front and say from 7 to 10 inches in the rear?
