    stagger vs Offset

    All you have for RR is two tires. One is 82 w/ 4in offset. other is 81 w/ 2in offset.

    which will make the car freer?

        Get to work and put the 82 on the 2" wheel.

          just remember ,the farther you stick the right rear out adds bite , less wheel weight on the right rear, and will a 4in offset clear the frame rail.

            haha spark its about half used up not really worth switching around...

            Man i thought this was a simple yes or no question hmmm. well i tried it last night and i felt like it freed the car up some but not alot. the change in stagger was more like 1 1/2in's though.

            thanks guys

              A thing called stagger ratio involved with this deal to keep apples to apples. But for simple math 82-4 will tighten entry loosen exit ,81 -2 will free entry tighten exit . Most likly ,but not always .Post 4 from LM14 would do the most for both .

                If your running a dampner shock, taking it off will loosen it up.

                  Man that is funny right there. When has anything on 4m been a simple yes or no question haha. I needed a good Monday morning laugh.

                  Most handling problems can be solved by adjusting the screw-ball. It can be difficult to fine tune at times. Explaining yourself loudly and striking it on top of the helmet with a dead blow hammer usually works well.
