    was trolling the forums for a while and putting pieces of info together.
    this would have saved a few hrs of my life

    for this reason, it is sometimes possible to get a higher profile stretch under a guard than a lower, also, brings more significance into your ride height. But if you talking differences between 6 and 7 your missing the point.

    My guess from rough calculations would give you around a -50 offset.

    This is assuming the wheel is 3pc and the where the center bolts up to the barrel/lip is the same 'offset' as the hub mounting face.

    I could be wrong... very wrong...

    Reverse them then use them as anal plugs in the Mardi Gra.

    Just an example; same principles apply to calculations or comparisons between an 8J and 9J wheel.



    Meshies?
    As a plug?
    FAIL!

    You'd clearly need SSR Mk1's or something similar with a flat face and no spokes...
