Hmm...good info for people who want to figure it out.
I think the term 'offset' has been incorrectly used sometimes, people are confusing it with 'backspacing'. The goal is to keep the stock 'backspacing' not the stock offset. To do so you need to choose the corresponding offset.
Formulas:
25.4mm=1inch
centerline = width/2
offset=backspacing-centerline
backspacing=centerline+offset
So with a my front wheel:
8.5 inch width, 52mm offset
6.3 inches of backspacing
My rear wheel:
10 inch width, 52mm wheel
7.05 inches of backspacing
So....that said. I'll need to push out ATLEAST .3 inches up front to meet the maximum required for use with Maxx struts. Not taking into account the additional pushing out of 2mm per side (2.5mm to 2.6mm for billet hubs)that 87 944T Brakes/hubs do....
Well, that's really nice to know.....all I'll need is widened fenders and a SMALL spacer if I go for Porsche Hubs, or just widened fenders if I can get the Billet hubs to accomodate.
So, with wheels pushed out like this, what does that do in terms of wear and tear to your wheel bearings with the load being that far out? Or is that all negligible?
