[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 471735, member: 3592"] That's cool. If that be the case, why not change just the front tires? Your back's been fixed by the fender rolling, right? Your tires should be new enough to try flogging off to a 19" buff. Very strange that there's no offset marking. I don't know where you can measure it professionally, but you could do it yourself easily by following the instructions on the link I gave you. Even a straight strip of wood will do, if you don't have a meter-long ruler. But you'll still have to do it at a tire shop as the tire will have to be dismounted from the wheel. You could also estimate it using DY's ET28 offset as a reference. Clarify your terminology again: what do you mean when you say that your offset is more aggressive than DY's? Do your wheels jut out more ([I]less[/I] aggressive +ve offset) or do they jut out less (more aggressive +ve offset) Eg, if they jut out more by say 10mm, then your offset is about ET18. And vice versa. Unless your photo played tricks because of the low lighting, your ride height is definitely lower than my stock M-suspension. :) [/QUOTE]
