offset problem

I read somewhere someone is saying that incorrect offset will hurt the tire and wheel bearing. Anyone knows anything about this?
I just order my wheels with +43 offset

Well first, what wheels did you order?

And was that "someone" credible? Members here have been running 7.5" width w/ 42 offset w/ no problems. You will not be able to find the "correct" offset aftermarket wheels for the tsx.

i wouldn't worry about it

well the 350Z needs staggered offsets from the front and back, that might be something specific to that setup?

There's plenty of people running 18x7.5" +42 offset wheels around here. You shouldn't have any issues.

I believe you should have no problem. Those are the same size as the stock ones except the offset is 50 on the OEM.
