    Wheel Spacer vs rim offset

    Looking to get the RF wheel moved out 2 inches. What's opinion on difference between spacer to do it or buying the offset rim to do it?

    what are you trying to fix???also if you already have the 19 inch lower on the rf(on most cars) it will be to wide as far as the rules

      Other than at Eldora, I've never seen it measured :-))

        The spacer would be cheaper... It would also keep you from having a dedicated wheel laying around for that corner.

          Different offset wheels have a habit of getting on the wrong corner sooner or later, unless you are alot more organized than I have ever been. What are you trying to change and why?

            that's a lot of force to put on that wheel with that offset. I'd be a little hesitant to put it on the rf with the loads and torque you'd be putting on the inner 1/3 of the wheel

                Yes, most of the reasoning was something to try, noticed alot of cars how far the RF is compared to the RR. Looks like about 4 inches. Thought most people were doing this with the Rim offset possibly.
