Would a +42 offset be fine with a 7.5" width? I just want to make sure there won't be any rubbing problems. Thanks!

Assuming everything the same between the tire size the 7.5" wheel/tire is 1/4 inch closer to shock compared to the 7" if both are +42.

That's my concern. Anyone with 7.5" wheels want to weigh in?

so the higher the offset the more wheel/tire you will have towards the inside, and the same with a wider wheel. he has a wider wheel and a higher offset...so i would say that 42 offset on a 7.5 wheel will work

Thanks! I saw that, but then in the wheel and tire database thread, Gr8dave37 claims to have 7.5s with a 45 offset that rub when they are cranked... So I wanted to be sure.

hehe thx blind_snyper!!

Yup its totally save, no rub till now!! but don't forget do the alignment, after installing rims & spring.

Well mine its not versa but latio. I believe its same, the chassis code is C11. If u have the same code i think no rub too.
