Default Different Off sets?

Hi All,

I understand you cant run different width wheels or tyres with AWD but canyou run different off sets front to back? either through a different off set wheel or different size spacers? i.e. 20mm spacer up front & 25mm spacer on the rear?

Cheers,

Yes, and you can run wider F&R so long as you get the same overall rolling radius.
Yes, you can fit spacers, but aim for quality not cheap ones, unless it's for a show car that isn't driven hard.
BMW X5 has huge rears and almost normal fronts, for example.
