This doesn't seem right

I contacted pack racing products & asked what offset I'd need for my 84 gs, they said 17mm with a 15x7 wheel. This seems way off what I was told here, around 38-42mm. Could anyone give me some advice? I decided not to but those wheels anyway b/c they are 18.9 lbs but if someone is selling 15x7 panasports I am definately interested.

IIRC the no 4x110's do require a low offset... so it does seem correct... again that's if I'm remembering correctly.

I see, thanks for the info. I'd really like to have a set of panasports, and these superlites looked very similar, but at 18.9 pounds they don't live up to their name and would probably effect performance.

I ran 12MM with my 15x7 Centerlines,back in the day,fit just fine.
The 84-85 GSL-SE needs the 30-40MM offset because of its wider brakes/hubs....thats why the stock SE wheels have no lip.
