Wheel offset question.

[IamThFEAR]

Hey guys, I'm currently running the factory 17x8 +20 offset rims on my 01 QX4. Do you think I would run into any problems swapping in new wheels that are 17x8.5 with a 0 offset? I know they will clear the calipers and such but was wondering if this setup might put extra stress on the suspension components. Thanks!

I am doubtful that it'll put any noticeable force on the suspension. If you are concerned I'd recommended replacing tie rods while you can just because if one of those goes (especially on lowered cars) it can be problematic. I had a bushing fail on me, but I was slammed to the ground with +10 offset wheels and -3 camber. In reality, all mods put stress on the suspension, but most suspension components are strong enough to take a beating. Just don't beat on the car too much when driving lol and you'll be fine.
