New Rubber, lower, more flushness!

omgshawn is correct on this one... It's just like when I write the weight and balance forms for the plane. It's the point of contact to what it's affecting that actually matters. Spacers will cause more stress than offset will...

I am patiently waiting for pie charts, bargraphs and various math/physics calculations to be splattered all over this thread.

Not sure if I agree. It does not matter how you get the wheel to its final position. It is where the wheel is located in its final position.

this. spacers just extend the wheels hub...just like using a lower offset wheel. as long as you use proper wheel studs to go with the spacers, you're fine.

Let's use the C-130 for example. The %MAC (Center of gravity) doesn't change when you open or close the ramp. This is because the ramp is attached to the same point the entire time. The same applies with your wheels. If you're using a spacer, you're actually moving the connecting point (part of the stud that the wheel is sitting on) farther away from the car, which, obviously, leads to more stress. If you are using offset to move the wheel out farther, your connecting point remains the same.

Here's a picture with the ramp open so you understand what I'm talking about. The arms coming down beside the ramp are ADS arms (Aerial delivery system) They don't actually support the ramp, but are there to keep the ramp from dropping below horizontal in flight and causing the rear of the aircraft to lift...

bad.

I have created a new topic to further explore this.
OP. Sorry, I did not intend to pollute your thread.

keep camber in the front. im not sure if you are drifting, but even for spirited driving, -1.5* of camber is good for the front.

rear definitely needs a spacer. update this when spacer arrives!
