Technique tested the "setup" with +48 offset (close enough to +50) with the 17x8" +48 SSRs and the Comptech lowering springs. He had no problem with the car loaded up with people..

The +48 - +50 offset seems to be the trick (and in more than just 17" wheels).

Isn't Arnold dropped 2" front/rear (with 19x8 +51 offset + 235/35-19 Nitto 555s)?

I want to do the h&r Sport.

The extra .5" in the rear scares me.

The sight line does not look good.

What I meant by the sight line not looking good is that is looks like the rear will hit the fender lip
