| To my knowledge, Camira rims will sit approx 10mm further in towards the shocker and will bind on the front shocker at full droop. This is not really a problem in normal driving, only when jacking up the front of the car. The rears clear okay. Hope this helps. |

Ok thnx. because the offset is 45 that would mean the wheels sit further out, and give the car a slightly wider track?
Cheers.

Nope thats not it.
The hub of the wheel where it bolts on sits further out, ie closer to the guard, meaning the wheel is further in.
Deep dish wheels have a really negative offset. |

| I know for a fact that Piazza is 24mm.. and i'm pretty sure E30 BMW's are around the same, so i'd doubt the accuracy of that list.. |
